The design and the principle of the mechanism work, including a reducer and universal joints, are considered in this paper. The angle between the axes of the shafts can be changed during oper-ation. The mechanism works in a reducer mode when its housing is stopped. The kinematic analysis of the mechanism and the research of dependence of the transmission ratio on the angles between the axes of the shafts are given in the article.
