    摘要: A universal joint includes a bearing including a bearing cup fitted in a bearing hole of a yoke and rolling elements arranged between the bearing cup and a shaft portion of a cross shaft. A method for manufacturing the universal joint includes: simulating a shrunken state in which a sample bearing cup selected from bearing cups in a same lot is fitted in the bearing hole such that only an outside diameter is restrained, by press-fitting the sample bearing cup into a reference hole of a reference jig; measuring a diameter of an inscribed circle inscribed to the rolling elements in the shrunken state; setting an outside diameter of the shaft portion to a required outside diameter according to the diameter of the inscribed circle; and inserting the bearing cup with the rolling elements between the shaft portion having the required outside diameter and the bearing hole.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a spline telescopic shaft includes a masking step in which, in a prescribed axial-direction region of an intermediate manufacturing product, partial tooth grooves that are equally spaced circumferentially are respectively covered by masking members that are equally spaced circumferentially; a resin coating step in which a resin layer is formed, and inner surfaces of the partial tooth grooves covered by the masking members are left as metal exposed portions that are equally spaced circumferentially; and a coating film forming step in which, in a state where the intermediate manufacturing product provided with the resin layer is centered with respect to a broach via the metal exposed portions, the intermediate manufacturing product and the broach are caused to slide relative to each other in an axial direction by press-fitting such that the resin layer is shaved to form a resin coating film.

    摘要: A first yoke includes a tubular portion extending in a first direction, a flange, and a pair of arms extending from the flange. Support holes for a joint spider are formed at tips of the respective arms. The arms have respective inner surfaces facing each other in a second direction. Each of the inner surfaces includes a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion as viewed in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction. The first recessed portions are recessed such that the distance between the inner surfaces of the arms increases from a start end located closer to an opening edge of each support hole toward an end point located closer to a base end of the arm. Each of the second recessed portions connects the end point to an end surface of a flange so as to form a curved surface.

    摘要: In a steering system, a first universal joint includes a first yoke coupled to an intermediate shaft. A second universal joint includes a fourth yoke paired with a third yoke coupled to the intermediate shaf and a shaft attachment portion joined to the fourth yoke and in which a bolt insertion hole allowing a pinion shaft to be clamped is formed. When an angle between the intermediate shaf and a steering shaft is set to θ1, an around-axis angle of the first yoke in a rotating direction is set to ω1, and an angle between the intermediate shaft and the pinion shaft is set to θ2, a junction angle between the fourth yoke and the shaft attachment portion in the rotating direction is adjusted to set an around-axis angle of the bolt insertion hole in the rotating direction to a preset angle ω2.

    摘要: A manufacturing method of a rotating element including a cylindrical fitting portion having a pair of circumferential end portions forming an axial slit between the circumferential end portions, the cylindrical fitting portion being serration-fitted to a rotating shaft, includes: clamping the fitting portion by a clamp jig so that the fitting portion is elastically deformed in an elliptical shape; forming a female serration arranged in an elliptical shape by use of a tool having an elliptical section, the female serration being formed on an inner peripheral surface of the fitting portion elastically deformed in the elliptical shape; and releasing the clamping by the clamp jig so that the arrangement of the female serration is changed to a perfect-circle shape from the elliptical shape.

    摘要: A universal joint includes: a pair of yokes each including a pair of arms in each of which a bearing hole is formed; four bearings each including a bearing cup press-fitted into the bearing hole and a plurality of needle rollers; and a joint spider including four shafts respectively supported by the bearings. A clinched portion that hinders the bearing cup from slipping out of the bearing hole is formed at the peripheral edge of the bearing hole. In the universal joint, the clinching amount for forming the clinched portion is set in accordance with a radial clearance, which is formed between the shaft of the joint spider and the needle rollers, to adjust the size of the radial clearance.

    摘要: A cross shaft joint includes a bearing cup, a cross shaft, and a joint yoke. The bearing cup includes a cylindrical portion in which an opening portion for receiving a shaft portion is formed in one end of the cylindrical portion in an axis direction, and a bottom portion that closes the other end of the cylindrical portion in the axis direction. The bearing cup is press-fitted into the fitting hole and supports the shaft portion through a rolling element so that the shaft portion is able to rotate. The bearing cup is fitted onto the shaft portion inside the fitting hole and holds the rolling element with the shaft portion. A diameter of an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion is smaller on the opening portion side than the bottom portion side in a free state of the bearing cup before being press-fitted into the fitting hole.
