Abstract

Un joint ameliore (10) utilise dans un joint universel (11) comprend une bague d'etancheite elastique (23) comprimee entre une paire de manchons cylindriques droits (24, 25). La bague d'etancheite est liee aux manchons. Les manchons sont concus pour etre ajustes a force avec des parties associes du joint universel, telles que le tourillon (12) et le dispositif de retenue de palier (14). Dans une forme de realisation, la partie allongee des manchons est parallele a l'axe (15) du tourillon (12) et dans une forme modifiee, les manchons (124, 125) s'etendent perpendiculairement a ce dernier. Dans chaque forme d'execution, une partie de l'un des manchons est disposee de facon adjacente a l'extremite interieure des paliers a aiguilles (22, 122) de maniere a limiter leur mouvement axial. Les manchons sont lies a la bague d'etancheite de maniere a empecher un mouvement de glissement entre eux tout en permettant un jeux axial limite dans le joint universel pour assurer la longevite du joint.
