Abstract
A universal joint having a first and a second yoke connected with a trunnion cross including bearing pins supported in bores of the yokes joining the yokes together includes a bearing bush, roller bearings and a bearing ring between the bearing pin and the inner wall of the bore in the yoke. The universal joint is provided with radial play between the yoke and the bearing pin of the trunnion cross over a limited portion of the length of the bearing pin, with the radial play increasing in a direction radially outwardly of the trunnion cross. The radial play is provided by structuring at least one of the bearing pins, the bearing ring and the bearing bush with a conical configuration. Alternatively, the bearing bush and the bearing ring may be formed as one part with play relative to each other in order to provide the radial play of the joint.
