Abstract
A constant velocity fixed ball joint () having a longitudinal axis (A), an outer joint part () with an annular member () and a joint base (), an inner joint part () which is axially supported on the joint base (), and a cage () for receiving the balls () and holding the balls () in a common plane. The cage () is held in both directions on an inner face in the outer joint part (). The inner joint part (), in a first direction, is unsupported relative to the cage (). In a second axial direction towards the joint aperture (), the inner joint part () is indirectly supported via the cage () on the outer joint part (). The cross-section of the inner joint part () is smaller than the base aperture in the annular member () for the joint base ().
