  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. Kinematic pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_pair

    A screw joint or helical H joint requires cut threads in two links, so that there is a turning as well as sliding motion between them. This joint has one degree of freedom. A cylindrical C joint requires that a line in the moving body remain co-linear with a line in the fixed body. It is a combination of a revolute joint and a sliding joint.

  4. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

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

    An example of a simple closed chain is the RSSR (revolute-spherical-spherical-revolute) spatial four-bar linkage. The sum of the freedom of these joints is eight, so the mobility of the linkage is two, where one of the degrees of freedom is the rotation of the coupler around the line joining the two S joints.

  5. Earth's orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth's_orbit

    The point towards which the Earth in its solar orbit is directed at any given instant is known as the "apex of the Earth's way". [4] [5] From a vantage point above the north pole of either the Sun or Earth, Earth would appear to revolve in a counterclockwise direction around the Sun. From the same vantage point, both the Earth and the Sun would ...

  6. Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth

    Earth is rounded into an ellipsoid with a circumference of about 40,000 km. It is the densest planet in the Solar System. Of the four rocky planets, it is the largest and most massive. Earth is about eight light-minutes away from the Sun and orbits it, taking a year (about 365.25 days) to complete one revolution.

  8. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    Three revolute joints: It is denoted as RRRP, PRRR, RPRR, or RRPR, constructed from four links connected by three revolute joints and one prismatic joint. The slider-crank linkage (RRRP) is one type of arrangement such that one link is a crank, which is then connected to a slider by a connecting rod.

  9. Product of exponentials formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_of_exponentials...

    For each joint of the kinematic chain, an origin point q and an axis of action are selected for the zero configuration, using the coordinate frame of the base. In the case of a prismatic joint, the axis of action v is the vector along which the joint extends; in the case of a revolute joint, the axis of action ω the vector normal to the rotation.
