Abstract :
A spatial staggered universal joint is a kind of mechanism with intrinsic motion and it is difficult to get satisfying analytical solution about it. By means of computer simulation technology, this paper has investigated the intrinsic properties including the motion characteristics of the output shaft as well as those of transmitting elements, slide bar and guide bar. The gained simulation data and motion curves provide practical guidelines for promoting the utilization and popularization of the spatial staggered universal joint.
