The Hooke’s Coupling Apparatus (DN – 013) allows the investigation of the universal joint shaft. The unit also helps in the determination of the gimbal error on Hooke’s Couplings.
- The unit is used to study the universal joint shaft that are used to transfer torque and rotational motion.
- The apparatus is composed of two universal joints connected to each other by an intermediate shaft.
- The universal joint is also known as Hooke’s coupling and it combines two non-aligned shafts.
- By using the universal joint, the torque and the speed are non-uniformly transmitted. This non-uniform transmission is called the gimbal error.
- The arrangement of the universal joints and the deflection angle can be set using two rotary disks on the base plate.
- On the drive side, the input angle is set and read by the drive universal joint.
- The intermediate shaft transmits the torque to the driven universal joint.
- The output rotation angle can be measured.
- The gimbal error is determined from the difference between the two angles.
- The components of the unit are mounted on a base plate.
- The unit is supplied with two handles which make it easy to carry the unit.
