Abstract
In this investigation a systematic approach to the design and optimization of the ideal universal joint has been developed. The relationships to design universal joints with the minimum diameter required to handle a given input torque for a given joint angle have been derived. Universal joints which are designed using the approach presented here will be ensured not to have interference between the various parts of the mechanism when in operation.
