Abstract
The constant velocity pivot joint includes an outer joint part (), an inner joint part () and rollers () disposed between the outer joint part () and the inner joint part (). The rollers () each comprise an inner ring () with an inner roller surface () and an outer ring () with an outer roller surface (). A plurality of rolling members () is disposed between the inner ring () and outer ring () so that the outer ring () can roll off on the inner ring (). The inner ring () forms an axial guide, which fixes the position of the rolling members () relative to the inner ring () in the axial direction. Furthermore, an inner ring () and the outer ring () are axially displaceable relative to each other to a limited extent.
