Universal Shafts

Description -
1. The universal shaft enables motion transmission between driving and driven shafts, with wide working angles.
2. The major characteristic of a universal shaft is having a transmission ratio instantly varying, when misalignment is different from zero.
3. The transmission ratio average value however keeps uniform; to annul such variability, the connection is made by two universal joints,equalizing the angular velocity.
4. Motion transmission is realized by a component connecting input and output shaft ends. This component is called journal cross.
5. Generally speaking, the universal shaft operation can be distinguished into 5 single peculiarities:
a. Torque and speed
b. Possibility of changing the distance between input and output.
c. Possibility of changing the angle between input and output.
d. Stress for vibration
e. Torsional strength
