Tripod roller

Tripod roller for constant velocity joint.

Constant velocity joints are used in vehicles, in order to transmit a torque from the drive train to the driven wheels and at the same time to make bending movements possible, in order to permit the vehicle to drive around bends or to dip the chassis relative to the driven wheels. It is a problem of the present invention to propose a method for assembling a tripod roller, a tripod roller and a constant velocity joint having the tripod roller, such that the tripod roller can be manufactured inexpensively. To this end, a method for assembling a tripod roller  is proposed, wherein running rings of the tripod roller are assembled inside one another, wherein the running rings have a temperature difference during the assembling operation.
