Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Gleichlaufgelenk mit einer Innennabe (3), einer Außennabe (4), einem mit der Außennabe verbindbaren Zapfen (9) zum Anschluss des Gelenks und mit einem formschlüssig mit der Außennabe verbindbaren Armierungsring (7), der die Außennabe (4) drehfest umgreift und wenigstens einen Anschlagbereich (7a, 7b) aufweist, der die Position der Außennabe (4) in dem Armierungsring (7) in einer ersten axialen Richtung definiert. Der Zapfen (9) weist einen beispielsweise flanschartigen Schulterbereich (8) mit einer axialen Anschlagfläche (8a) auf, der die Position der Außennabe (4) in dem Armierungsring (7) in einer zweiten, der ersten axialen Richtung entgegengesetzten axialen Richtung definiert, wobei der Zapfen (9) an dem Armierungsring (7) fixiert ist.
