Drive Shaft

grabcad

The mechanism used in this design is used all over the world; cars, machines, etc.It enables us to transmit both torque and rotation, and is usually used to connect other components of a drive train that cannot be connected directly because of distance or the need to allow for relative movement between them.Drive shafts use many mechanisms, this uses 2 universal joints.Watch the attached video for more illustration.For more designs, you can find me on Facebook (the URL is in my GrabCAD Profile).
