Abstract
A Cardan type universal joint is provided with cross-sectional recesses at specific points either in a joint cross or at the joint yokes in order to improve the load distribution. Because of the arrangement of the recesses, it is possible to achieve an improved and approximately symmetrical load distribution toward the direction of circumferential force to be applied to the joint. This permits an increase in the useful life or alternately an optimization of the construction size of the joint.
