General theoretical instructionsKinematics of Hooke’s joints1. The jointsIn the theory of mechanics, thecardan joint (or Hooke’s joint)is defined as a spatial or sphericaldrive unit with a non-uni<strong>for</strong>mgear ratio or transmission. Thetransmission behavior of this jointis described by the followingequation:1a 2 = arc tan · tan(acosb 1)1b290°b = Deflection angle of joint [
