U- JOINT

The universal joint is a mechanical device that allows two rotating shafts to be connected while permitting them to rotate at different speeds relative to each other. It typically consists of two yokes joined by a cross-shaped member called the center block, which contains bearings to support the rotation of the shafts. The outer journal or sleeve of the universal joint is attached to one shaft and the inner journal or sleeve is attached to the other shaft.
