Abstract
A constant velocity fixed joint. The center line (M) of the outer ball tracks () towards a first side (S) departs, radially inwardly, a reference radius centered in the point of intersection between a perpendicular line on tangents (T) at the center line (M), and the longitudinal axis (L). The center line (M) of the inner ball tracks () towards a second side (S) departs, radially inwardly, a reference radius centered in the point of intersection of a perpendicular line on the tangent at the center line (M), and the longitudinal axis (L). In the outer joint part, from the joint center plane (EM) to the second side (S), the center line (M) moves beyond the reference radius radially outwardly. In the inner joint part (), from the joint center plane (EM) to the first side (S), the center line (M) moves beyond the reference radius, radially outwardly.
