Abstract
This chapter focuses on couplings between non-axial shafts. Hooke's joints are used extensively in automobiles to connect the output shaft of the gear box to the input shaft of the differential. The connection is between shafts that are parallel but that do not lie in the same axis. The chapter illustrates the functioning of a Hooke's joint driving shaft. In such a scenario, the driving shaft is connected to an arm, and the driven shaft is connected to another arm. The driving fork lies in the vertical plane with its axis vertical, and the driven fork lies in a plane inclined at an angle to the horizontal with its axis horizontal. The chapter also illustrates the functioning of a double Hooke's joint.
