Fig. 1.20a, b. Weiss joint in the steer drive axle <strong>of</strong> a 6 tonne lorry built from 1953–60. a Ball yoke,<br />

b ball yoke with stub shaft for driving the sun wheel <strong>of</strong> the planetary hub reduction gear [1.22]<br />

that they lie in the plane <strong>of</strong> symmetry p. The torque is transmitted by only three<br />

balls, depending on the direction <strong>of</strong> rotation, while the remaining three centre <strong>and</strong><br />

hold it together. The balls are preloaded because this cageless joint only works fully<br />

without play. The joint is completely encapsulated <strong>and</strong> thus protected from falling<br />

apart. It is lubricated for life with SAE 90 hypoid oil <strong>and</strong> is sealed against water by a<br />

very strong boot.
