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...

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...
