Hook's Coupling (Universal Joint)
This joint is used to connect two non-parallel interesting shafts. It is also used for shafts with angular misalignment where flexible coupling does not serve the purpose. Thus, Hooke's joint is means of connecting two rotating shafts whose axes lie in one plane, their directions making a small angle with each other.
