Alfred Hans Rzeppa (January 23, 1885, Gliwice – January 1965) was an American engineer of Silesian descent working at Ford Motor Company who invented a version of constant-velocity joint in 1926. He proposed an improved design in 1936. Rzeppa's design uses six balls and an inner and outer race to provide almost constant velocity torque transfer regardless of the joint angle. The joint works in a similar manner to a bevel gear with the balls bisecting the joint angle and functioning as the "teeth" to transmit torque.

| - Alfred Hans Rzeppa (* 23. Januar 1885 in Gliwice; † Januar 1965) war ein US-amerikanischer Ingenieur. Während seiner Zeit bei Ford erfand er ein Homokinetisches Gelenk (Gleichlaufgelenk), das unter der Patentnummer US1665280 am 10. April 1928 veröffentlicht wurde. Diese Art der Gelenke ermöglichten den Siegeszug des Frontantriebes bei PKW. (de)
- Alfred Hans Rzeppa (1885–1965) était un ingénieur travaillant chez Ford qui a inventé un joint homocinétique en 1926 qui porte son nom: le joint de Rzeppa ou joint à six billes. Il en proposa une amélioration en 1936. Son joint utilise six billes, qui roulent dans des rainures internes et externes, de manière à assurer une transmission de vitesse constante, quel que soit l'angle de travail du joint. Le joint fonctionne donc comme un engrenage conique, les billes assurant le rôle de denture. (fr)
