8.4 Universal Joints(万向联轴节) When the driving shaft 1 rotates at constant angular velocity ?1, then the angular velocity ?3 of the driven shaft 3 will fluctuate(波动) periodically within ?1cos?13~?1/cos?13. In practical applications, ?13 does not exceed 35?~45?. The structure of the universal joint is simple. It is easy to assemble. The universal joint can adapt to poor working conditions. 8.4.2 The Double Universal Joint In order to make the ratio i13 ?1, the following two conditions must be satisfied. (2) When the left yoke(轭状物) of the intermediate shaft 2 lies on th
