CORRUGATED BOOT OF CONSTANT-VELOCITY UNIVERSAL JOINT OF HIGH-SPEED TRANSMISSION SHAFT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in high-speed power transmission shafts on constant-velocity universal joints especially on joints movable in axial direction. Proposed corrugated boot of constant-velocity universal joint contains corrugated section connected with larger and smaller diameter sections installed on universal joint housing. Sections of larger and smaller diameter of bottom are connected with corrugated section by means of members featuring small displacement in radial direction. Corrugated section has two corrugations, each having outer diameter not exceeding 0.058 m, and each valley of boot is provided with reinforcement boss pointed to shaft. EFFECT: provision of reliability and long service life, simplified design. 1 dwg _
