  2. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    A mechanical linkage is an assembly of systems connected to manage forces and movement. The movement of a body, or link, is studied using geometry so the link is considered to be rigid. [1] The connections between links are modeled as providing ideal movement, pure rotation or sliding for example, and are called joints.

  3. Scissors mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scissors_mechanism

    The scissor mechanism is a mechanical linkage system used to create vertical motion or extension. It consists of a series of interconnected, folding supports that resemble the shape of a pair of scissors, hence its name. The scissor mechanism is widely employed in various applications, including scissor lifts, folding tables, adjustable height ...

  4. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    Four-bar linkage. In the study of mechanisms, a four-bar linkage, also called a four-bar, is the simplest closed- chain movable linkage. It consists of four bodies, called bars or links, connected in a loop by four joints. Generally, the joints are configured so the links move in parallel planes, and the assembly is called a planar four-bar ...

  5. Parallel motion linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_motion_linkage

    Animation of the parallel motion linkage. In kinematics, the parallel motion linkage is a six-bar mechanical linkage invented by the Scottish engineer James Watt in 1784 for the double-acting Watt steam engine. It allows a rod moving practically straight up and down to transmit motion to a beam moving in an arc, without putting significant ...

  6. Watt's linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt's_linkage

    Hand-drawn diagram by James Watt (1808) in a letter to his son, describing how he arrived at the design. [1] A Watt's linkage is a type of mechanical linkage invented by James Watt in which the central moving point of the linkage is constrained to travel a nearly straight path. Watt's described the linkage in his patent specification of 1784 ...

  7. Overconstrained mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overconstrained_mechanism

    In mechanical engineering, an overconstrained mechanism is a linkage that has more degrees of freedom than is predicted by the mobility formula. The mobility formula evaluates the degree of freedom of a system of rigid bodies that results when constraints are imposed in the form of joints between the links. If the links of the system move in ...

  8. Mechanism (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanism_(engineering)

    Mechanism (engineering) In engineering, a mechanism is a device that transforms input forces and movement into a desired set of output forces and movement. Mechanisms generally consist of moving components which may include: Various machine elements, such as splines, pins, or keys.

  9. Mechanical amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_amplifier

    A mechanical amplifier or a mechanical amplifying element is a linkage mechanism that amplifies the magnitude of mechanical quantities such as force, displacement, velocity, acceleration and torque in linear and rotational systems. [1] In some applications, mechanical amplification induced by nature or unintentional oversights in man-made ...
