Abstract
A transmission joint portion has an envelope with an interior peripheral surface. A plurality of bearing paths are defined by bearing tracks distributed about the axis of the envelope inside the envelope. Each bearing track has a bearing path surface on one side thereof and an opposite surface facing the interior peripheral surface of the envelope. An interior space is defined between the interior peripheral surface of the envelope and the opposite surfaces of the bearing tracks. A filler material made of one of a thermosetting and a thermoplastic matrix is filled into the interior space between the interior peripheral surface and each opposite surface. The interior peripheral surface is provided with portions extending opposite the opposite surfaces of the bearing tracks, with each portion having a contour that is substantially the same as the contour of the respective opposite surface.
