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 ...
The Scott Russell linkage (1803) translates linear motion through a right angle, but is not a straight line mechanism in itself. The Grasshopper beam/Evans linkage , an approximate straight line linkage, and the Bricard linkage, an exact straight line linkage, share similarities with the Scott Russell linkage and the Trammel of Archimedes .
Animation for Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage: Dimensions: Cyan Links = a Green Links = b Yellow Links = c. The Peaucellier–Lipkin linkage (or Peaucellier–Lipkin cell, or Peaucellier–Lipkin inversor), invented in 1864, was the first true planar straight line mechanism – the first planar linkage capable of transforming rotary motion into perfect straight-line motion, and vice versa.
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.
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 ...
One of the ends is then connected to something that can generate linear motion, such as a rolling or sliding connection, or another straight line mechanism. The Evans 'grasshopper' linkage is a variant of a Scott Russell linkage which uses a long link to create a large enough arc to approximate a line.

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]
