Birfield joint 1

There is an offset between center of circular grooves on each shaft and the clutch center (see upper picture). Balls are positioned by the contact with the grooves.
With this arrangement, the plane containing ball centers always remains in a plane that bisects the angle α between the two shafts when α changes to meet condition of constant velocity.

Excellent animation, I'm curious if you've considered looking into the cross groove plunge joint? How it allows perfect ball contact and also translation seems like magic!

Id like to know the difference between the birfield and the Rzeppas joint if anyone can explain

[@beholderer]

Is this Joint a Costant Velocity Joint or does it need another link to be constant velocity like the Universal Joint?

[@thang010146]

+Beholder
It is a constant velocity joint. Please see the video description.

No, but it was absolutely 'inspired' by the Rzeppa design.
