Fixed constant velocity joint
A fixed constant velocity joint is provided, which is suitable for an application where a rotational backlash should be avoided. A pressing member is attached to a shaft, and simultaneously a receiving member is attached to a cage. Then, an elastic force of an elastic member elastically bring a pressing part of the pressing member in contact with a receiving part of the receiving member. As a result, an inner race and a cage relatively travel in the axial direction, balls are pushed toward a direction along which wedge-shape ball tracks narrow, and consequently a track clearance in the axial direction decreases.
