Hooke’s Coupling Apparatus | ProDynami – 1280
The Hooke’s Coupling Apparatus ProDynami – 1280 demonstrates angular motion transmission and gimbal error using two Hooke’s couplings connected by a split intermediate shaft. This Hooke’s Coupling Apparatus features transparent plastic scales with 1° graduations for measuring shaft angle differences. It includes ball bearing mounted shaft ends and a solid, painted base plate. Drive is achieved by hand wheel for bench top experimentation.
Product Overview
The table model demonstrates the transmission of angular motion to joint shafts, the related gimbal error, and how this error can be rectified using Hooke’s couplings. The model consists of two Hooke’s couplings that are connected by a split intermediate shaft. The deflection angle of both joints can be set individually and read on the scales. Drive is achieved by turning a hand wheel.
On the drive and power take-off sides there are further angle measuring scales made of transparent plastic with which the difference between the angles of the shafts can be determined on this Hooke’s Coupling Apparatus.

Construction and Design
The Hooke’s Coupling Apparatus ProDynami – 1280 consists of two Hooke’s couplings, standard industrial parts, connected by a split intermediate shaft with a diameter of D=18mm. The deflection angle of both joints can be set individually and read on scales, each with a disc diameter of D=120mm, an angle range of 0 to 360°, and graduations of 1°. Drive is achieved by turning a hand wheel. Angle measuring scales made of transparent plastic are fitted on the drive and power take-off sides, allowing the difference between the angles of the shafts to be determined. Shaft ends are ball bearing mounted, and the base plate is solid and painted.
