Animation showing the construction of a geared five-bar cognate linkages from an initial four-bar cognate. A five-bar linkage has two degrees of freedom, and thus there does not exist a five-bar linkage which is capable of acting as a cognate. [Note 1] However, it is possible to generate a 5-bar cognate using gears. Select four-bar linkage of ...
