  2. Chebyshev linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chebyshev_linkage

    The motion of the linkage can be constrained to an input angle that may be changed through velocities, forces, etc. The input angles can be either link L 2 with the horizontal or link L 4 with the horizontal. Regardless of the input angle, it is possible to compute the motion of two end-points for link L 3 that we will name A and B, and the ...

  3. Straight-line mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-line_mechanism

    A straight-line mechanism is a mechanism that converts any type of rotary or angular motion to perfect or near-perfect straight-line motion, or vice versa. Straight-line motion is linear motion of definite length or "stroke", every forward stroke being followed by a return stroke, giving reciprocating motion.

  4. Screw mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_mechanism

    The screw is a mechanism that converts rotational motion to linear motion, and a torque (rotational force) to a linear force. [1] It is one of the six classical simple machines . The most common form consists of a cylindrical shaft with helical grooves or ridges called threads around the outside.

  5. Watt's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage

    The nearly linear motion of the linkage allows this type of engine to use a rigid connection to the piston without causing the piston to bind in its containing cylinder. This configuration also results in a smoother motion of the beam than the single-action engine, making it easier to convert its back-and-forth motion into rotation. [4] [6]

  6. Rotation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_(mathematics)

    The rotation group is a Lie group of rotations about a fixed point. This (common) fixed point or center is called the center of rotation and is usually identified with the origin. The rotation group is a point stabilizer in a broader group of (orientation-preserving) motions. For a particular rotation: The axis of rotation is a line of its ...

  7. Linear motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_motion

    The linear motion can be of two types: uniform linear motion, with constant velocity (zero acceleration); and non-uniform linear motion, with variable velocity (non-zero acceleration). The motion of a particle (a point-like object) along a line can be described by its position x {\displaystyle x} , which varies with t {\displaystyle t} (time).

  9. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    The stroke((ΔR 4) max) of an in-line crank slider is defined as the maximum linear distance the slider may travel between the two extreme points of its motion. With an in-line crank slider, the motion of the crank and follower links is symmetric about the sliding axis. This means that the crank angle required to execute a forward stroke is ...
