Abstract
In a slide type universal joint, a slider is slidably fitted around a trunnion of an inner member and a roller, which rolls in a transmission groove of an outer member, is carried rotatably on the slider via a needle bearing, the slider and the roller being coupled together against axial relative displacement by an axial coupling means. This makes the joint simple in structure and reduces frictional resistance.
