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-uniformgear 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 [

General theoretical instructionsThe following diagram shows theratio i = ω 2 /ω 1 for a full revolutionof the universal joint for b = 60°.The degree of non-uniformity U isdefined by:U = i max. – i min. = tanb · sinbi21,51Where:0,5i max. =1cosbi min. = cosb0p/2 p 3p/2 2pa 1Angular difference ϕ K max.10°19°0,98°0,87°0,76°0,6ϕ K max.5°0,54°0,43°0,32°U0,21°0,10°0°0° 5° 10° 15° 20° 25° 30° 35° 40° 45°Deflection angle bDegree of non-uniformity UThe diagram shows the course ofthe degree of non-uniformity U andof the angular difference ϕ K max. asa function of the deflection angleof the joint from 0 to 45°.From the motion equation it isevident that a homokinematicmotion behavior correspondingto the dotted line under 45° – asshown in the diagram – can onlybe obtained for the deflectionangle b = 0°.
