Why this one

Transmitting rotation between two shafts whose axes meet at an angle.

The spider's Z trunnions seat in yoke 1's ear bores and its Y trunnions seat in yoke 2's ear bores. Each yoke can pivot about its own trunnion axis, which gives the two perpendicular axes of a Cardan joint. Torque passes shaft, hub, ears, trunnions, spider, trunnions, ears, hub, shaft.
