Abstract:
A flange yoke for a universal joint, the yoke comprising:a first and a second joint fork half which are joined to form the flange yoke; a joint fork axis for the fork halves; each joint fork half having an element for receiving a pin and the element has a pin axis; each joint fork half comprising a base component and a bearing component; the base components of the first and the second joint fork halves being so shaped that they may be form lock connected to form a flange; each base component having an outer circumference, having a coupling face which is applied to the coupling face of the other base component and having a region of the coupling face that is toward the outer circumference; mutually complementary first toothing on the coupling face in the region of the outer circumference of each of the base components; the first toothing extending in a direction for having a first tooth trace that forms a first angle to a plane formed by the pin axis and the joint fork axis; mutually complementary second toothing generally in the region of the joint fork axis, on the coupling faces of the base components and inward of the region of the outer circumference of each of the base components; the second toothing extending in a direction for having a second tooth trace that extends at a second angle that is across the direction of extension of the first tooth trace.
