Kinematics of Hooke’s joints<br />
1. The joints<br />
In the theory of mechanics, the<br />
cardan joint (or Hooke’s joint)<br />
is defined as a spatial or spherical<br />
drive unit with a non-uni<strong>for</strong>m<br />
gear ratio or transmission. The<br />
transmission behavior of this joint<br />
is described by the following<br />
equation:<br />
a 2 = arc tan 1 · tan<br />
