A slider-crank linkage is a four-bar linkage with three revolute joints and one prismatic, or sliding, joint. The rotation of the crank drives the linear movement the slider, or the expansion of gases against a sliding piston in a cylinder can drive the rotation of the crank. There are two types of slider-cranks: in-line and offset. In-line
For many purposes approximate linear motion is an acceptable substitute for exact linear motion. Perhaps the best known example is the Watt four bar linkage, invented by the Scottish engineer James Watt in 1784. [3] This type of linkage is one of several types described in Watt's 28 April 1784 patent specification.
A Chebyshev Translating Table Linkage, which combines together two cognate linkages: the Chebyshev Linkage and Chebyshev Lambda Linkage. In kinematics , the Chebyshev Lambda Linkage [ 1 ] is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion with approximate constant velocity. [ 2 ]
Link 1 (horizontal distance between ground joints): 4a Illustration of the limits. In kinematics, Chebyshev's linkage is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate linear motion. It was invented by the 19th-century mathematician Pafnuty Chebyshev, who studied theoretical problems in kinematic mechanisms.
Linkage mobility Locking pliers exemplify a four-bar, one degree of freedom mechanical linkage. The adjustable base pivot makes this a two degree-of-freedom five-bar linkage . It is common practice to design the linkage system so that the movement of all of the bodies are constrained to lie on parallel planes, to form what is known as a planar ...
In kinematics, the Hoecken linkage (named for Karl Hoecken) [1] is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion. The Hoecken linkage is a cognate linkage of the Chebyshev linkage and Chebyshev's Lambda Mechanism. The linkage was first published in 1926. [2] [3]
Two cranks designed in this way form the desired four-bar linkage. This formulation of the mathematical synthesis of a four-bar linkage and the solution to the resulting equations is known as Burmester Theory. [3] [4] [5] The approach has been generalized to the synthesis of spherical and spatial mechanisms. [6]
Animation of the Roberts Linkage Dimensions: Green Triangle = a, a, b (a are the longer sides) Yellow Links = a Horizontal Distance between Ground Joints = 2b. A Roberts linkage is a four-bar linkage which converts a rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion. [1] The linkage was developed by Richard Roberts. [1]
