Abstract

A flange yoke for universal joints includes a flange element having a longitudinal axis, two first attachment faces arranged on a first end face, and a connection face arranged on a second end face. The flange yoke also has two bearing elements having, respectively, a bearing bore, a second attachment face abutting one of the first attachment faces, and at least two blind holes with internal threads that extend parallel to the longitudinal axis and that start from the second attachment faces. To each blind hole, a through bore, extending parallel to the longitudinal axis, is arranged in the flange element. The through bores start from the connection face and end in one of the first attachment faces. The attachment screws are passed through the through bores and sit in the blind holes. By this, it is ensured, that the cross-sectional area of the bearing elements in a plane, formed by the journals of a journal cross, is not reduced by a bore and the highest possible torque capacity is achieved.
