Due to the high performance of the constant velocity joint, various problems may arise in terms of the function and strength of the constant velocity joint. Due to the miniaturization, strength degradation may occur. High keratosis of the joints can lead to problems of functional problem strength degradation. In this study, we discuss the articulation (functional) problems of constant velocity joints that can be caused by high keratinization. We have applied a design concept called angle offset to implement a high-angle joint. The angle offset can compensate for the strength by ensuring sufficient groove depth even under high angled conditions. However, there is a disadvantage in that machining is difficult and it is not easy to match the exact dimensions. As a result, a high friction force between the initial ball and the groove is generated, thereby causing a high bending resistance. High friction forces reduce the efficiency of the joint and can be a source of durability problems. In this study, the design factors affecting the bending resistance are derived and the sensitivity is analyzed to derive the factors that can minimize the bending resistance. The optimization technique uses DOE and the strength analysis will also confirm the strength robustness of the model.
