A gear train made up of multiple gears can have several drivers and several driven gears. If the train contains an odd number of gears,...

Geneva wheel mechanism, illustrated in Fig. 1, is an example of intermittent gearing that converts continuous rotary motion into...

Slider-crank mechanism (or a simple crank), shown as Fig. 1, converts rotary to linear motion and vice versa, depending on its...

Figures 1 to 2 illustrate examples of classical linkages capable of describing straight lines, a function useful in many different kinds...

In addition to changing the motions of objects or forces, more complex linkages have been designed to perform many specialized functions:...

A linkage is a mechanism formed by connecting two or more levers together. Linkages can be designed to change the direction of a force or...

Internet is full of memes of junior computer programmers looking for solution to their every programming challenge in github repositories....

These linkages convert rotary to straight-line motion without the need for guides. Image 1: An Evans’ linkage has an oscillating drive...

Transport mechanisms generally move material. The motion, although unidirectional, gives an intermittent advancement to the material...

A four-bar linkage is a type of mechanical linkage that consists of four links connected in a loop by four joints. These linkages are...
