The table model demonstrates the transmission of angular motion to joint shafts, the related gimbal error and how this error can be rectified using Hooke`s couplings. The model consists of two Hooke`s couplings that are connected by a split intermediate shaft. The deflection angle of both joints can be set individually and read on the scales. Drive is achieved by turning a hand wheel. On the drive and power take-off sides there are further angle measuring scales made of transparent plastic with which the difference between the angles of the shafts can be determined.
