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
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]
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.
Five bar linkages often have meshing gears for two of the links, creating a one DOF linkage. They can provide greater power transmission with more design flexibility than four-bar linkages. Jansen's linkage is an eight-bar leg mechanism that was invented by kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen. Klann linkage is a six-bar linkage that forms a leg mechanism;
Construction of the moving centrode for a 4-bar linkage: The cyan link indicates the link the centrode (orange) is drawn relative to. An additional diagram is shown on the right to show the cyan link fixed in place for reference.
The Chebyshev Lambda Linkage is used in vehicle suspension mechanisms, walking robots, and rover wheel mechanisms. In 2004, a study completed as a Master of Science Thesis at Izmir Institute of Technology introduced a new mechanism design by combining two symmetrical Lambda linkages to distribute the force evenly on to ground with providing the ...
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]
The former ground link of the fusing 4-bar linkage becomes a rectilinear link that travels follows the same coupler curve. Each of these paired six-bar cognate linkages can also be converted into another cognate linkage by flipping the linkage over, and switching the roles of the rectilinear link and the ground link.
