What is the angular range between the input shaft and the output shaft in which this mechanism will work?
90 degrees to 270 degrees
Is the speed increased, decreased, or constant in a universal joint mechanism?
constant
Is the torque increased, decreased, or constant in a universal joint mechanism?
constant
Is the flow of power reversible, i.e., can you make the input shaft turn by turning the output shaft?
yes
Do the input and output shafts turn in the same direction?
Yes.
Is the direction of the output reversible?
yes
Is the flow of power reversible?
yes
A universal joint is a
flexible mechanism that connects two rotating shafts at an angle to each other.
The angular range of the joint is between
90° and 270°
The flow of power is reversible, which means that you can
make the input shaft turn by turning the output shaft.
A universal joint
does not change
the speed or torque of the shafts.
