The type of coupling used to join two shafts whose axes are neither in the same straight line nor parallel but interest is Correct Answer Universal coupling

Explanation:

Universal coupling

  • A universal or Hooke's coupling is used to connect two shafts whose axes intersect at a small angle.
  • The inclination of the two shafts may be constant, but in actual practice, it varies when the motion is transmitted from one shaft to another.
  • The main application of universal coupling is found in the transmission from the gearbox to the differential or back axle of automobiles.
  • In such a case, we use two Hooke's coupling, one at each end of the propeller shaft, connecting the gearbox at one end, and the differential on the other end.
  • A Hooke's coupling is also used for transmission of power to different spindles of multiple drilling machines.
  • It is used as a knee joint in milling machines.

Statement (I): Two  non-intersecting and non-parallel, i.e., non-coplanar, shafts connected by gears are called skew-bevel gears or spiral gears, and this type of gearing has a line contact the rotation of which about the axes generates the two hyperboloid pitch surfaces. Statement (II): A hyperboloid is a 3D surface formed by revolving a straight line about an axis (not in the same plane), such that every point on the line remains at a constant distance from the axis.
