Universal joints, also known as U-joints or universal couplings, are mechanical components used to transmit rotary motion between two shafts that are not in a straight line. They are widely used in automotive drivetrains, industrial machinery, and various other applications where shafts need to be connected at an angle.
The primary function of a universal joint is to allow for the transfer of torque and rotational motion between shafts that are at an angle to each other. Universal joints can accommodate both axial and radial misalignment, making them ideal for applications where the shafts are not perfectly aligned.
