What is a universal joint?

A universal joint is a mechanical device that allows one or more rotating shafts to be linked together, allowing the transmission of torque and/or rotary motion. It also allows for the transmission of power between two points that are not in line with each other.
Universal joints come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and configurations to accommodate the infinite amount of applications they can go into. You should always consult a professional before selecting a universal joint.
