Ball joint

The invention relates to a ball joint, e.g. for an axle system of a motor vehicle. The ball joint comprises an essentially annular or pot-shaped joint housing (2), whereby the ball (7) of a ball stud (1) is accommodated in a manner that enables it to slide inside the joint housing (2). The ball join...

More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a ball joint, e.g. for an axle system of a motor vehicle. The ball joint comprises an essentially annular or pot-shaped joint housing (2), whereby the ball (7) of a ball stud (1) is accommodated in a manner that enables it to slide inside the joint housing (2). The ball joint is characterized in that the joint housing (2) is made of a housing half (4), which is located onthe side of the ball stud, and of a housing half (5), which is located on the side of the housing cover. Both housing halves (4, 5) each have an essentially surrounding axial stop (9). The housing halves (4, 5) can, in the axial direction, be brought to rest against one another in a precisely defined manner. The ball joint can be controlled with regard to the reproducibility of tolerances during manufacture and, at the same time, can be produced in a cost-effective manner. In addition, the invention makes it possible to increase the specific bearing capacity of the ball joint or to make the dimensions of the ball join
