    - Hooke's joint is used to connect two non-parallel and intersecting shafts.

    - Hooke's joint is used in multiple drilling machines to transmit power to different spindles.

    - For the condition of equal speeds, ω1 = ω2 . Substituting this value in the given below equation,

    ω2 / ω1 = (cos α) / (1 – cos2 θ sin2 α)

    we get,
    tan ϑ = ± √cos α

    Hence through this equation it is concluded that at four values of θ are obtained when ω1 = ω2
