Abstract
The invention relates to a CV-jointed shaft with a first and a second constant velocity fixed joint 1, 1' and an intermediate shaft 14. The intermediate shaft 14 comprises a plunging sleeve 22 in which there is received a plunging journal 15 by means of balls. The plunging journal 15 and the intermediate shaft 14 are each provided with a plug-in portion 16, 25 which are identical in shape and are received in receiving bores 7 of the inner parts 5 of the two constant velocity fixed joints 1, 1'. By using this design it is possible to provide a CV-jointed shaft wherein, to a considerable extent, the constant velocity fixed joints 1, 1' can be assembled of identical components.
