Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, specifically to a long-life constant velocity universal joint. Background Technology

[0002] During the operation of a constant velocity universal joint, the internal metal components, such as needle rollers, steel balls, and raceways, rub against each other, eventually causing wear. This wear produces fine iron filings. These filings become trapped in the grease and participate in the sliding and rolling processes. However, this has several adverse effects. First, the iron filings contaminate the grease, reducing its lubricating effect. Second, it increases the vibration and temperature of the universal joint, affecting normal use. Finally, it accelerates the wear of the workpiece surface, further increasing the amount of iron filings and ultimately leading to universal joint failure. Utility Model Content
