  2. Revolute joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolute_joint

    A revolute joint (also called pin joint or hinge joint) is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic pair used frequently in mechanisms and machines. [1] The joint constrains the motion of two bodies to pure rotation along a common axis. The joint does not allow translation, or sliding linear motion, a constraint not shown in the diagram. Almost all ...

  3. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    There are three basic types of planar four-bar linkage, depending on the use of revolute or prismatic joints: Four revolute joints: It is denoted as RRRR, constructed from four links connected by four revolute joints. The planar quadrilateral linkage refers to all arrangements in this type. Examples of 4R linkages include: Double-crank linkage

  4. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    An example of a simple open chain is a serial robot manipulator. These robotic systems are constructed from a series of links connected by six one degree-of-freedom revolute or prismatic joints, so the system has six degrees of freedom. An example of a simple closed chain is the RSSR (revolute-spherical-spherical-revolute) spatial four-bar linkage.

  5. Kinematic pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_pair

    It identifies the sequences of joints, starting from the abbreviation of the first joint at the base to the last abbreviation at the moving platform. For example, joint notation for the serial SCARA robot is RRP, indicating that it is composed of two active revolute joints RR followed by an active prismatic P joint.

  6. Mechanical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_joint

    A bolted joint is a mechanical joint which is the most popular choice for connecting two members together. It is easy to design and easy to procure parts for, making it a very popular design choice for many applications. Advantage: Joints are easily assembled/ disassembled by using a torque wrench or other fastener tooling. [7]

  7. Articulated robot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_robot

    An articulated robot uses all the three revolute joints to access its work space. Usually the joints are arranged in a “chain”, so that one joint supports another further in the chain. Continuous Path: A control scheme whereby the inputs or commands specify every point along a desired path of motion. The path is controlled by the ...

    A common example of a screw is the wrench associated with a force acting on a rigid body. ... Revolute joints. For a revolute joint, ...

  9. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    A slider-crank linkage is a four-link mechanism with three revolute joints and one prismatic (sliding) joint. [1] The rotation of the crank drives the linear movement of 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.
