It is common practice to design the linkage system so that the movement of all of the bodies are constrained to lie on parallel planes, to form what is known as a planar linkage.

Links are the rigid bodies that make up a kinematic chain. Links can be any shape or size, but they must be rigid enough to withstand the forces that are applied to them. Nodes are the …

Nov 12, 2025 · This lecture covers basic linkage mechanisms that can be used as building blocks for designing movement. Students will learn each mechanism by hands-on construction and …

The right linkage must be selected and engineered for the right job, BUT if you want higher performance with more action in less space, you often have to use a more complex linkage! …

This handout will take you through the steps of designing a 4 bar linkage. A four bar linkage is used to define and constrain the motion of an object to a particular path.

All modules calculate kinematic and dynamic data for the particular linkage, plot, print, and export the results in Excel format as well as animate the linkage on screen.

To achieve this, they use a four-bar linkage in their jaws to enable the muscle force to obtain a significant mechanical advantage when the jaws are closing, as shown below.
