Cardan joints create connections between the driving and driven shafts in order to transmit rotational motion and torque. Universal joints transmit rotation and torque from shafts that may be at varying angles to one another. A variety of materials are available, as well as designs featuring friction bearings and needle roller bearings for more demanding applications. Bevel gears, also known as angular gears, transmit and redirect torque and rotation. Worm gear reducers are very robust, yet lightweight. All couplings, joints and gear wheels can be used in a wide range of applications.
