Abstract
A homokinetic joint including a first element (1,2) extending along a first axis and carrying three radial arms (3) evenly angularly spaced apart and defining spherical bearing surfaces (4), a second element (10) having a second axis intersecting the first axis and capable of making an angle therewith, the second element defining three pairs of raceways (9), intermediate elements (5) disposed between the spherical bearing surfaces and the raceways, rolling members (8) being interposed between the intermediate elements (5) and the adjacent raceways (9). The raceways (9) provided on the second element (10) are formed by cylindrical surfaces having a roughly circular cross-section and generatrices parallel to the axis of the second element, the rolling members being balls (8).
