  • the bushing 40 here designed as a collar bush, can be pressed into the bearing opening 28 or be produced by means of two-component injection molding! If the segments 22, 24 and 32, 34 made of a suitable material, such as plastic, the bearing bush 40 may also be omitted, but then 28 lubrication grooves 44 must be provided in the bearing opening.
  • the rotatable mounting of the bearing pin 26 is implemented by a needle bearing 42, wherein to ensure an improved bearing pressure grooves 144 are provided on the circumference of the bearing opening 28.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un cardan (10) destiné à relier des arbres de transmission de couple de rotation, en particulier destiné à des arbres de direction (72) et des arbres de transmission de véhicules à moteur, comprenant : deux fourches d'articulation (14, 16) qui peut être reliées respectivement à un arbre et présentent respectivement une paire d'éléments d'appui; une pièce d'articulation (12) disposée entre les fourches d'articulation (14, 16) et comprenant deux paires d'éléments d'appui complémentaires qui définissent des axes d'articulation (B1, B2) qui se croisent ou sont inclinés entre eux; et un dispositif d'amortissement (50) disposé dans la pièce d'articulation et destiné à amortir au moins les oscillations de rotation. Les deux fourches d'articulation (14, 16) sont couplées entre elles par l'intermédiaire de la pièce d'articulation (12), par coopération par paires des éléments d'appui et éléments d'appui complémentaires. En outre, la pièce d'articulation (12) comprend deux paires de segments (20, 30) dans lesquelles chaque segment (22, 24 et 32, 34) est formé séparément et est relié respectivement à un élément d'appui complémentaire, et respectivement deux segments (22, 24 et 32, 34) voisins sont couplés entre eux par des corps d'amortissement (511, 512, 513, 514) du dispositif d'amortissement (50) qui peuvent être déformés dans une direction transversale aux axes d'articulation (B1, B2).
