NTRODLCTIO\
A flexible coupling or rmiversal joint is frequently used to link with two shafu and
fuansrait circular motion from the other- Indeed continuous circular motion is
perhaps the single largest fhing that ma::kind produces in the world with the
available energ"y. A universal joint is simply and combination of machine
elemen'rs whichtansmitrotation from one axis to another.

At the end of this experiment, students should be able to understand the operating
principles and application of the universal coupliag.

E}GERTMENTA-L THEORY
Shafts are used to transmit rotary motion and in most cases these shafts rotate in
bearings set in a sfoaight line. However, there are cases where the shaft cannot be
stoaight and it has to be operated through an angie X, refer Figure 1. A good
example in common use is the shaft which transmit powff ftom a motor car
engme through its gearbox to the back axie to drive the rear wheels. Here the shaft
is generally at an angle and the operation is firther complicated by the fact that
the angle varies when the motor car fl"rls over brimps in the road.
Such condition can be satisfied by the use of universal couplings as shown at A
and C in Figure L. For uaiform power transmission the design and assembly of
the two couplings must be carefully considered.
