A Universal Joint also known as a U-joint is a mechanical coupling that allows for the transmission of torque and rotation between two shafts that are not aligned on the same axis. It consists of two yoke-shaped parts, referred to as yokes which are connected by a cross-shaped part known as the spider. The yokes are attached to the ends of the respective shafts, while the cross fits within the yokes, connecting them.Attributes:• Withstands the rotational forces transmitted through the drive shaft• Resist high-temperature environmentsApplications:A Universal Joint serves the function of transmitting torque and rotation between two non-parallel shafts while allowing for angular misalignment between them. Its design and ability to transfer power efficiently contribute to the smooth operation and flexibility.
