Abstract
A sliding articulation includes an outer hub wherein is housed an inner hub. The outer hub and the inner hub include corresponding respective raceways wherein are housed balls which are guided by a cage arranged between the outer hub and the inner hub. The inner hub can slide freely relative to the outer hub in the axial direction, between a first stop and a second stop, over a distance, when the balls roll in the raceways and it can slide over a second distance when the balls slide in the raceways.
