Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly having a first constant velocity fixed joint 1 which comprises an inner part 5 with an attaching bore 8. The inner part 5 is connected to a plunging journal 15 associated with a plunging unit of a connecting shaft 3. To achieve adaptability to different installation conditions, the plunging journal 15, in its outer face, is provided with first grooves 16 which extend over the entire length of same and thus also serve to establish a rotationally fast connection with the inner part 5. The length 19 of the plunging journal 15, which projects beyond the inner part 5 is greater than the rolling adjustment path 15 which results from the adjustment of the plunging sleeve portion 11 relative to the plunging journal 15 when the rolling contact members 21 roll in the first grooves 16 and in the second grooves 14 between the stops 23, 24.
