Universal Joint Apparatus
Product Code : EL-AMLE-10640
Quick Answer : This benchtop apparatus demonstrates the transmission of angular motion through a universal joint arrangement, consisting of two couplings connected by a split intermediate shaft, to study gimbal error in articulated joints and how it can be rectified. The deflection angle of both joints can be set individually and read on angle scales made of transparent plastic, drive is applied by turning a hand wheel, and further transparent plastic scales on the drive and power take-off sides let the difference between the angles of the shafts be determined; the unit uses standard industrial universal joint parts with ball bearing mounted shaft ends on a solid, painted base plate measuring 360 x 280 x 185mm.
The table model demonstrates the transmission of angular motion to joint shafts, the related gimbal error and how this error can be rectified using couplings. The model consists of two couplings that are connected by a split intermediate shaft, and the deflection angle of both joints can be set individually and read on the scales. Drive is achieved by turning a hand wheel, and on the drive and power take-off sides there are further angle measuring scales made of transparent plastic with which the difference between the angles of the shafts can be determined.
