Abstract
A constant velocity universal joint designed as a fixed or plunging joint permits the use of balls with a larger diameter, with the selectable shaft diameter not being adversely affected by using such balls with a larger diameter. The objective is achieved in that, in a first operation, the inner joint part is assembled with the cage while being pivoted at an angle of up to 90.degree. and that, subsequently, in a second operation, the inner joint part is welded to an associated shaft.
