Abstract

See full text

An assembly comprising a shaft (14) and a female part (6) fixed in terms of rotation on the shaft by rotational-fixing means which cooperate through complementary shapes (16), the female part also being fixed axially on the shaft, and the female part (6; 160; 360) comprising axial first stops (52; 54; 152) which cooperate with associated second stops (44; 46; 144) belonging to the shaft. The first and second stops (44; 46; 52; 54; 144; 152) act in the direction of mounting. The female part (6) further comprises first axial-retention surfaces (60; 160; 360) cooperating with associated second axial-retention surfaces (50; 150; 350) belonging to the shaft. The first and second retention surfaces (50; 60; 150; 160; 350; 360) act in the opposite direction to mounting. The invention applies in particular to ball-type constant-velocity joints for motor vehicles.
