Angular Transmission R Mechanism

This is the double Cardan.
Angle between the input and output is A = 90 deg.
The orange S-link has a virtual axle.
Angle between the virtual axle of the orange S-link and the input shaft is B = A/2 = 45 deg.
This condition makes the mechanism a constant-velocity joint.
The orange link rotates without fixed bearing.
