Summary:The invention relates to a constant velocity joint (1) having crossed raceways, which comprises a joint outer section (3) and a joint inner section (5) having crossed raceways (4, 6) associated together in pairs, balls (7) disposed in the raceway pairs (4, 6), and a cage (8) fixed to one of the two joint sections (3, 5), and windows (8a) which receive the balls (7). The cage (8) is secured axially in one direction by a section (9b) of a cage guide surface (9) on the joint section (3, 5) and in the opposite direction by a stop (12) on a separate terminal element (11) provided on the joint section (3, 5). The cage guide surface (9) is preferably configured without undercuts in the axial direction. The inventive constant velocity joint having crossed raceways is particularly compact and light-weight as it can be installed axially. The invention also relates to a universal joint shaft having such a constant velocity joint and to a method for producing the same.
