Abstract
The invention relates to a method for finishing the ball cup of a homocinitic joint, especially for motor vehicles, having a ball ring-shaped bearing surface for the ball cage and a plurality of essentially axial running guideways which interrupt said ball ring-shaped bearing surface. The guideways are provided for the balls which are arranged in the ball recesses of the ball cage and which transmit torque between the ball cup and the ball star. In order to be able to finish such ball shells quickly, economically and as fully automatic as possible, the invention provides that both the ball ring-shaped bearing surface for the ball cage as well as the guideways for the balls are produced by means of a turning machining.
