Collection breakdownThese mechanisms will give you a fascinating look into the world of rotational and pivoting motion. Here's a breakdown of what the collection covers:

1. Classic Ball-and-Socket HousingThe most straightforward design, often called the Standard Ball Housing. This mechanism involves a simple spherical ball encased in a matching socket, allowing for a wide range of rotational movement. It's versatile and commonly used in applications from automotive steering to tripod heads.

2.Cardan Joint (Universal Joint)Also known as a universal joint, the Cardan Joint enables rotational motion between two shafts that are not aligned. It’s an essential mechanism in drivetrains, allowing smooth power transmission while accommodating angular misalignments.

1. Rzeppa Joint (Constant Velocity Joint)The Rzeppa Joint, or CV joint, ensures consistent rotational speed between two connected shafts, even at varying angles. It’s widely used in front-wheel-drive vehicles to allow smooth power transfer while the wheels steer and move up and down.

2. Abenics JointA unique and less common ball joint mechanism, the Abenics Joint combines elements of flexibility and precise control, often found in robotics and specialized machinery. It’s designed to offer a balance between free movement and stability.

3. Spherical Ball Bearing (or Cylindrical Bearing)This mechanism uses a series of small balls or cylinders encased in a spherical housing, allowing for smooth rotation in multiple directions. Commonly found in industrial machines, these bearings reduce friction while enabling controlled, multidirectional movement.
