Abstract

Abstract Translated from German Die Erfindung betrifft ein zentriertes Doppelkreuzgelenk für Lenkwellen in Kraftfahrzeugen, bei dem die in dem Gelenk drehfest miteinander verbundenen Wellenenden (1,2) jeweils in einem Gelenkkreuz um zwei einen rechten Winkel miteinander und mit der Wellenlängsachse einschließende Gelenkachsen in einem beide Gelenkkreuze miteinander verbindenden Gehäuse mittels Lagerzapfen (5 bis 8 und 10 bis 13) beweglich gelagert sind. Zum Zwecke einer kostengünstigen Herstellung eines Schwingungen entkoppelnden Gelenks ist jedes der beiden Gelenkkreuze in einem das zugehörige Wellenende (1,2) mit einem radialen Abstand umschließenden Ring (3,4) ausgebildet, in welchem das Wellenende (1,2) um die in einer Gelenkachse angeordneten Zapfen (5 bis 8) beweglich gelagert ist und der mittels in der anderen Gelenkachse angeordnete Zapfen in einem Gehäuse aus einem Rohrstück (9) beweglich gelagert. <IMAGE> The invention relates to a centered double universal joint for steering shafts in motor vehicles, in which the shaft ends (1, 2) connected in a rotationally fixed manner to one another in each case in a joint cross by means of two joint axes which enclose a right angle with one another and with the shaft longitudinal axis in a housing connecting the two joint crosses to one another Bearing journals (5 to 8 and 10 to 13) are movably mounted. For the purpose of cost-effective production of a joint that decouples vibrations, each of the two cross members is formed in a ring (3, 4) surrounding the associated shaft end (1, 2) with a radial spacing, in which the shaft end (1, 2) around the in a The pin (5 to 8) arranged in the articulated axis is movably mounted and the pin arranged in the other articulated axis is movably mounted in a housing made of a piece of pipe (9). <IMAGE>
