Referring to fig. 3, a plurality of balls 3, each ball 3 being sandwiched in a set of ball tracks for transmitting torque, preferably eight balls 3 in the present embodiment, the number of which is equal to the number of ball tracks; the number of the balls 3 can be adjusted to 6, 9, 10, 12 and the like according to the number of the ball tracks.
The retainer 4 is arranged between the inner spherical surface 1-3 of the bell-shaped shell and the outer spherical surface 2-1 of the star-shaped sleeve and is used for retaining the ball 3; the retainer 4 is provided with a retainer outer spherical surface 4-1 matched with the outer spherical surface 1-3 of the bell-shaped shell and a retainer inner spherical surface 4-2 matched with the outer spherical surface 2-1 of the star-shaped sleeve.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the centers of the inner spherical surface 1-3 of the outer bell-shaped shell, the outer spherical surface 2-1 of the inner race, the outer spherical surface 4-1 of the retainer and the inner spherical surface 4-2 of the retainer all coincide with the center O of the ball cage (which may be non-concentric, that is, the centers of the four spherical surfaces are offset by a certain distance on the central plane EM), and the center O of the ball cage is located on the axis L; the inner lane surface 1-4 and the outer lane surface 2-2 are symmetrical about a central plane EM where the center O of the ball cage is located, the center O2 of the inner lane surface 1-4 and the center O1 of the outer lane surface 2-2 are respectively arranged on two sides of the center O of the ball cage, and the O1 and the O2 can be located on the axis L or not.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, the inner lane surface 1-4 of the first lane 5 is formed by connecting an arc a R1 and an arc b R2; arc a R1 and arc b R2 are in opposite directions and are connected at a tangent point.
