Abstract

While designing a Cardan coupling it is necessary to assess the assembly-ability of its components as well as to ensure that they do not interfere with each other during normal operation. In practice, this is done by use of prebuilt sample models, where everything is checked by experimenting. The authors share herewith their idea for developing a new approach to designing Cardan couplings, where all operations are performed in an automated way as early as the design stage.
