What is a Universal Joint (U-Joint)?

A universal joint is a mechanical component used to connect two shafts at an angle to transmit rotational motion.

Structure and Function:

Cross-Shaped Design: The basic design consists of a cross-shaped yoke with four arms.

Bearings: Needle bearings or bushings allow the joint to pivot smoothly and transmit torque.
