Abstract

Manguito flexible para encerrar una rótula cardánica. Un manguito flexible (10) comprende un cuerpo (80) que define una cavidad (82) para recibir una rótula cardánica (50). Una primera porción extrema (100) del cuerpo (80) rodea un árbol de dirección intermedio (30). La primera porción extrema (108) incluye una pareja de nervaduras anulares (110 y 112) y un primer labio anular (102) que se extiende radialmente hacia adentro para proporcionar una junta entre la primera porción extrema (100) del cuerpo (80) y el árbol de dirección intermedio (30). La pareja de nervaduras anulares (100 y 112) están situadas adyacentes al primer labio anular (102) y se extiende radialmente hacia adentro. La pareja de nervaduras (110, 112) definen un receso (118) entre ellas. El manguito flexible (10) comprende adicionalmente un cojinete (90) en el receso (118) para soportar la rotación del árbol de dirección intermedio (30) con respecto al manguito flexible (10), y una segunda porción extrema (120) del cuerpo (80) que incluye un segundo labio anular (122) para recepción en una muesca (62) sobre una carcasa del engranaje de la dirección (60) para asegurar el cuerpo (80) a la carcasa del engranaje de la dirección (60). Una porción central (140) del cuerpo (80) interconecta la primera porción extrema (100) con la segunda porción extrema (120). La porción central (140) es extensible axialmente.
