Universal Coupling: The Mechanism, Velocity Requirments, And Applications Explained!

A Universal Coupling or universal joint is a link between the two objects, often shafts, that enables relative rotation in two axes. This kind of connection is also known as a universal hinge. It is composed of two movable joints that have axes that are perpendicular to one another as well as intersecting with one another.  The Working Principle Of Universal Coupling When shafts are joined using a universal connection, each shaft ends in a revolute joint with its axis perpendicular to the shaft's rotating axis. This ensures that the shafts continue to rotate in the same direction. Because of this, it is possible to transmit rotary motion across the shafts while still allowing for misalignment in the two remaining rotational degrees of freedom. A universal joint has two degrees of freedom since it only has one rotational degree of freedom (the rotation of the shaft), which is confined. All relative translations are also bound.
