In this apparatus two universal joints connected to each other by an intermediate shaft. This combination is referred to as the cardan shaft or the universal joint shaft. Universal joint shafts are joint shafts that transfer a torque and a rotational motion. A universal joint combines two non-aligned shafts. In a universal joint, the torque and the speed are non-uniformly transmitted. This non-uniform transmission is called the gimbal error.
