Abstract
A flange yoke for universal joints includes a first yoke half having a first flange plate and a first bearing portion, a second yoke half having a second flange plate and a second bearing portion, a first end face projecting from the bearing portions, a second end face formed by a first connection face of the first yoke half and a second connection face of the second yoke half, at least one step-like recess on the first yoke half, and at least one step-like projection formed complementary to the recess on the second yoke half. The first yoke half and the second yoke half are detachably connectable to each other by attachment screws. For this, the first yoke half has blind holes with internal threads that extend parallel to a longitudinal axis extending from the first clamping face. For each blind hole, a through bore is arranged in the second yoke half, wherein the attachment screws are passed through the through bores and are received in the blind holes.
