On Cardan Joint: Some Special Applications

Cardan joint (Gerolamo Cardano 1501–1576) is one of the scientific results of the renaissance scientist (mathematics, astronomy, astrology, philosophy). At present time is this one applied as mechanical joint which allows the transport of the torsion moment between intersecting axes. It is known that this transport is dependent on the angle between both axes. In this contribution it will be described some other applications for example in the metrology and experiments with redundant kinematics system.
