Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008074308A1] The invention relates to a ball-and-socket joint or bushing joint, for example, for an axle system or for attaching a spring-damper system in a motor vehicle. The ball-and-socket joint has a substantially annular or pot-shaped joint housing (10), in the substantially cylindrical interior of which a ball socket (11) is arranged. The ball socket (11) is fixed in the joint housing (10) using a sealing ring (12), wherein the ball (3) of a ball pin (4) or of a ball bush (9) is accommodated in the ball socket (11) in a manner allowing the ball (3) to slide. The ball-and-socket joint is characterized according to the invention in that the outer surface of the ball socket (11) in the end region adjoining the sealing ring (12) is substantially smooth and cylindrical in form, wherein the sealing ring (12) has toothing (14) on the front side thereof facing the ball socket (11). The ball-and-socket joint according to the invention offers advantages with regard to the reduction of the production costs and with regard to saving installation space and reducing weight. The tolerance chains in the area of the housing cover, which are also reduced, simplify the production of the parts and reduce the wastage rate.
