2. INTRODUCTION
• The synthesis of mechanism is the design or creation of a mechanism to produce a desired output
motion for a given input motion.
• In other words, the synthesis of mechanism deals with the determination of proportions of a
mechanism for the given input and output motion.
• Kinematic analysis is the process of determination of velocity and acceleration of the various links of an
existing mechanism.
• On the other hand, kinematic synthesis deals with the determination of the lengths and orientation of
the various lengths of the links so that a mechanism could be evolved to satisfy certain conditions.
• Kinematic synthesis of a mechanism requires the determination of lengths of various links that satisfy
the requirements of motion of the mechanism.
• The usual requirements are related to specified positions of the input and output links.
• It is easy to design a planar mechanism, when the position of input and output links are known at
fewer positions as compared to large number of positions.
3. Steps in the Synthesis
In the application of synthesis, to the design of a mechanism, the problem divides itself into the following three parts:
1. Type synthesis, i.e. the type of mechanism to be used,
• This includes Type of mechanism spatial or Planar Mechanism
• Chain drive, Belt drive, gear drive, 4- mechanism
• Types of Joint Sliding pair, revolute pair spherical Pair etc.
• Higher or Lower Pair
• Types of link- Binary, ternary, quadratic
• Types of Gears, Gear trains, Cam and follower
2. Number synthesis, i.e. the number of links and the number of joints needed to produce the required motion,
• no. of links and joints
• No. teeth and no. of gears
3. Dimensional synthesis, i.e. the proportions or lengths of the links necessary to satisfy the required motion
characteristics.
• Link lengths and angles
• Pitch circle diameter, center distance
• Stroke length and Angle of Ascent and Descent in Cam and Follower
4. INTRODUCTION
• In designing a mechanism, one factor that must be kept in mind is that of the accuracy required of the mechanism.
Sometimes, it is possible to design a mechanism that will theoretically generate a given motion.
• The difference between the desired motion and the actual motion produced is known as structural error.
• In function generation, there is correlation between the motion of input and output links.
• If the motions of input link is represented as x0, x1, x2, …, xn+1and the corresponding motions (which is dependent on input
variables x0, x1, …, xn1) of the output link is represented by y0, y1, y2, …, yn+1, these can be shown on the graph as indicated in.
• We observe that at certain points (P1, P2, and so on) the desired function and generated function agree well. These points are
called precision points. The number of such points (from 3 to 6 generally) is equal to the number of design parameters.
• The error resulting from tolerances in the length of links and bearing clearances
is known as mechanical error.
Mechanical errors are caused because of mechanical defects such as improper
machining, casting of components of the linkage, clearance in the components
because of rubbing, tolerances in the length of links and bearing clearances,
overloading of linkages, etc.
• Graphical error is caused because of inaccuracy in drawing of perpendicular or
parallel lines. It may occur because of wrong graphical construction and wrong
choice of scale. Also, there may be human errors in drawing work.
5. Classifications of Synthesis Problem
1. Function generation.
The major classification of the synthesis problems that arises in the design of links in a mechanism is a function
generation. In designing a mechanism, the frequent requirement is that the output link should either rotate, oscillate or
reciprocate according to a specified function of time or function of the motion of input link.
This is known as function generation.
A simple example is that of designing a four bar mechanism to generate the function y = f (x). In this case, x represents
the motion of the input link and the mechanism is to be designed so that the motion of the output link approximates the
function y.
6. Classifications of Synthesis Problem
2. Path generation.
In a path generation, the mechanism is required to guide a point (called a tracer point or coupler point) along a path
having a prescribed shape. The common requirements are that a portion of the path be a circular arc, elliptical or a straight
line.
7. Classifications of Synthesis Problem
3. Body guidance.
In body guidance, both the position of a point within a moving body and the angular displacement of the body are
specified. The problem may be a simple translation or a combination of translation and rotation.
8. Freudenstein’s equation
• Consider a four bar mechanism ABCD, as shown in Fig, in which AB = a, BC = b,
CD = c, and DA = d.
• The link AD is fixed and lies along X-axis.
• Let the links AB (input link), BC (coupler) and DC (output link) make angles 𝜃,𝜙
and 𝛽 respectively along the X-axis or fixed link AD.
For equilibrium of the mechanism, the sum of the components along X-axis and
along
Y-axis must be equal to zero.
First of all, taking the sum of the components along X-axis as shown in Fig

• In designing a mechanism to generate a particular function, it is usually impossible to accurately produce the
function at more than a few points.
• The points at which the generated and desired functions agree are known as precision points or accuracy points
and must be located so as to minimise the error generated between these points.
• The best spacing of the precision points, for the first trial, is called Chebychev spacing.
• According to Freudenstein and Sandor, the Chebychev spacing for n points in the range xs ≥ xi ≥ xf
• (i.e. when x varies between xs and xf ) is given by

The precision or accuracy points may be easily obtained by using the graphical method as
discussed below.
1. Draw a circle of diameter equal to the range ∆𝑥 = 𝑥 𝑓 − 𝑥 𝑠 .
2. Inscribe a regular polygon having the number of sides equal to twice the number of precision points required, i.e.
for three precision points, draw a regular hexagon inside the circle, as shown in Fig
3. Draw perpendiculars from each corner which intersect the diagonal of a circle at precision points 𝑥1, 𝑥2, 𝑥3.

Consider a four bar mechanism, as shown in Fig. arranged to generate a function y = f (x)
over a limited range.
Let the range in x is (𝑥 𝑠 − 𝑥 𝑓 ) and the corresponding range in 𝜃 is (𝜃𝑓 − 𝜃𝑠) . Similarly,
let the range in y is (𝑦𝑠 − 𝑦𝑓 ) and the corresponding range in 𝜙 is (𝜙 𝑓 − 𝜙𝑠) .
The linear relationship between x and θ
𝜃 = 𝜃𝑠 +
(𝜃𝑓 − 𝜃𝑠)
𝑥 𝑓 − 𝑥 𝑠
𝑥 − 𝑥 𝑠

𝜙 = 𝜙𝑠 +
