L'autre joint est relié à la transmission. The other seal is connected to the transmission.
Le joint homocinétique disposé du côté de la roue est un joint homocinétique à centre fixe ou à fixité axiale Ce joint est susceptible de s'adapter à des angles élevés ( 450 à 500) La capacité angulaire élevée de ce joint permet aux roues avant The constant velocity joint located on the side of the wheel is a constant center or axial fixed velocity joint This joint is capable of adapting to high angles (450 to 500) The high angular capacity of this joint allows the front wheels

Les joints homocinétiques exigent une alimentation constante en lubrifiant pour fonctionner dans ce dernier Normalement, ce lubrifiant est contenu dans une CV joints require a constant supply of lubricant to function in the latter Normally, this lubricant is contained in a
chambre formée par une garniture d'étanchéité ou soufflet de protection La garni- chamber formed by a seal or protective bellows The seal
ture d'étanchéité est habituellement en une matière flexible, soit du caoutchouc, soit une matière plastique A l'une de ses extrémités, le soufflet de protection est fixé sur le diamètre extérieur du corps, ou boîtier du joint L'autre extrémité est fixée à l'arbre de liaison Cet agencement crée une chambre -de forme sensiblement conique qui est remplie d'une quantité prédéterminée de graisse pendant l'assemblage du demi-arbre Cette graisse est normalement suffisante pour lubrifier The sealing structure is usually made of a flexible material, either rubber or plastic. At one of its ends, the protective bellows is fixed to the outside diameter of the body, or the seal housing. The other end is fixed. to the connecting shaft This arrangement creates a substantially conical chamber which is filled with a predetermined quantity of grease during the assembly of the half-shaft This grease is normally sufficient to lubricate
le joint pour toute la durée de vie du véhicule. the seal for the entire life of the vehicle.
Les garnitures d'étanchéité des joints homocinétiques constituent un élément essentiel de l'ensemble de demi-arbre en raison de l'exigence d'une fourniture continue de lubrifiant Si, pour une raison quelconque, la garniture The CV joints packings are an essential part of the half shaft assembly due to the requirement for a continuous supply of lubricant if, for any reason, the packings

La flexibilité de la garniture d'étanchéité permet un déplacement angulaire de l'arbre par rapport au boîtier du joint Pendant que le joint est dans une position angulaire, le soufflet de protection est soumis à une compression d'un côté, tandis que le côté opposé est soumis à une traction Lorsque le joint travaille sous un certain angle, le soufflet de protection passe par un mouvement cyclique de compression et de traction La fréquence de cette action cyclique dépend de la vitesse de rotation du joint. Les premières garnitures d'étanchéité pour joints homocinétiques étaient en une matière du type caoutchouc ou néoprène Cette matière offre une flexibilité excellente et est fixée facilement sur le boîtier du joint et sur l'arbre en utilisant un collier métallique de serrage Bien que ces garnitures d'étanchéité en caoutchouc jouent leur rôle d'une manière acceptable, la nature tendre des matières du type The flexibility of the seal allows angular displacement of the shaft relative to the seal housing While the seal is in an angular position, the protective bellows is subjected to compression on one side, while the side opposite is subjected to traction When the joint works at a certain angle, the protective bellows goes through a cyclic movement of compression and traction The frequency of this cyclic action depends on the rotation speed of the joint. The first seals for CV joints were made of a rubber or neoprene type material. This material offers excellent flexibility and is easily attached to the seal housing and to the shaft using a metal clamp. sealing play their role in an acceptable manner, the tender nature of materials of the type
caoutchouc les rend extrêmement sensibles à des entailles par pincement. rubber makes them extremely susceptible to pinching nicks.
Une entaille du soufflet de protection en caoutchouc peut se produire pendant la manipulation du demi-arbre, pendant l'assemblage du véhicule ou par contact entre le soufflet en caoutchouc et d'autres éléments du véhicule pendant l'assemblage du véhicule Une fois convenablement assemblés, les soufflets de protection en caoutchouc peuvent être endommagés par des obstacles présentés par la route, des pinces-leviers utilisées par des mécaniciens, des crochets de remorquage ou d'autres objets qui pincent le soufflet de protection entre l'objet et A cut in the rubber boot may occur during the handling of the half shaft, during vehicle assembly or by contact between the rubber boot and other vehicle components during vehicle assembly Once properly assembled , the protective rubber bellows can be damaged by obstacles presented by the road, lever clamps used by mechanics, tow hooks or other objects which pinch the protective bellows between the object and

Malheureusement, l'accroissement de dureté s'accompagne d'une difficulté Unfortunately, increasing hardness comes with difficulty
de fixation des soufflets de protection en matière plastique sur les surfaces exté- for fixing the plastic protective bellows to the outer surfaces
rieures et les arbres des ensembles de demi-arbre La matière plastique nécessite un collier métallique de serrage ayant une section transversale assez importante pour maintenir le soufflet de protection sur les éléments du demi-arbre, et assurer l'étanchéité de ce soufflet de protection pendant le fonctionnement Outre une section transversale accrue, le matériau du collier métallique est remplacé par un laughs and the shafts of the half-shaft assemblies The plastic requires a metal clamping collar having a large enough cross-section to hold the protective bellows on the elements of the half-shaft, and to ensure the tightness of this protective bellows for operation In addition to an increased cross-section, the material of the metal collar is replaced by a
acier inoxydable relativement cher au lieu d'un acier galvanisé économique. relatively expensive stainless steel instead of economical galvanized steel.
L'augmentation de section transversale en même temps que le remplacement par un matériau plus onéreux a augmenté notablement le coût du système de serrage The increase in cross-section at the same time as the replacement with more expensive material has significantly increased the cost of the clamping system
