Abstract
A tripod joint has an outer joint part with three circumferentially distributed axis-parallel recesses which form circumferentially opposed tracks. An inner joint part with a star-shaped cross-section and three circumferentially distributed arms engages the recesses of the outer joint part. The arms hold roller assemblies. Each roller assembly includes a roller carrying means and a roller directly riding on the tracks. On each arm, a roller carrying element is held to be axially and angularly movable relative to the arm axis. Also, on each roller carrying element, the roller is axially secured and rotatably supported via a rolling contact bearing. A friction reducing mechanism is provided between the roller carrying elements and rollers. The friction reducing mechanism is effective with respect to the relative rotational movements taking place between the elements and rollers under axial forces.
