Synthesis of Linkages
Lecture-1
Introduction
Synthesis of Linkages
β€’ Generating circular motion is an easiest task.
β€’ Many times you are asked to generate an irregular motion on the output
side.
β€’ After solving the assignment-1, you must be appreciating the importance
of 1 DOF in the mechanisms.
β€’ The two main type of 1 DOF mechanisms are CAM and linkages.
β€’ In order to generate irregular path, CAM are easy to design but
expensive, and subjected to wear.
β€’ Linkages are more difficult to design but are relatively inexpensive and
reliable.
β€’ The simplest linkage capable of generating the desirable motion is 4-link
mechanism.
β€’ We shall consider the design of 4-link mechanism and the technique can
be extended for the design of 6 & 8 link mechanism

If the crank is rotating with a
constant velocity then the ratio
of time in forward and
backward stroke will be:
or
If in the synthesis of linkage
time ratio Q and output link
oscillation angle is give. Then
the first step is to calculate the
angle 𝛼.

Note that during the design
procedure many choices were
made such as: starting angle 𝝓 and
slop of line 𝒙. There are infinite number
of such choices which results in
different linkages. But not all are valid.

But, all the solutions are not valid. In particular, the pivots 𝐢1 and 𝐢2 may not
cross the line of center through the fixed pivot 𝐴1 and 𝐷1. If this happens the
desired oscillation of the output link can not be obtained and the linkage must
dissembled to reach the two position.

the out link will be maximum.
β€’ While, πœ‚ = 0Β°, πœ‚ = 180Β°, the

The rocker-amplitude problem: Graphical Method
Unscaling the Solution
It was earlier assumed that the value of π‘Ÿ4 is known, however it may not be
the case always. Although, it is required to know the size of at least one link
initially. Through a scaling factor we can determine the size of other links.
Assume that the link length are: 𝑅1, 𝑅2, 𝑅3 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ 𝑅4.
𝑅1 = πΎπ‘Ÿ1
𝑅2 = πΎπ‘Ÿ2
𝑅3 = πΎπ‘Ÿ3
𝑅4 = πΎπ‘Ÿ4
Where K is the scaling factor. After the design procedure is completed we
know the value of π‘Ÿ1, π‘Ÿ2, π‘Ÿ3 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘Ÿ4. Therefore we need to defined only one of
𝑅1, 𝑅2, 𝑅3 π‘œπ‘Ÿ 𝑅4 to find out the value of K. Knowing K will help in calculating
other links.

designed. The oscillation is to be symmetric about a vertical line through π΅βˆ—. Draw the
mechanism in any position. If the length of the base link is 2 in, give the length of the other
three links. Also show the transmission angles in the position in which the linkage is drawn.

  • 5. Introduction Synthesis of Linkages β€’ Generating circular motion is an easiest task. β€’ Many times you are asked to generate an irregular motion on the output side. β€’ After solving the assignment-1, you must be appreciating the importance of 1 DOF in the mechanisms. β€’ The two main type of 1 DOF mechanisms are CAM and linkages. β€’ In order to generate irregular path, CAM are easy to design but expensive, and subjected to wear. β€’ Linkages are more difficult to design but are relatively inexpensive and reliable. β€’ The simplest linkage capable of generating the desirable motion is 4-link mechanism. β€’ We shall consider the design of 4-link mechanism and the technique can be extended for the design of 6 & 8 link mechanism

  • 24. 4 Bar Mechanism The rocker-amplitude problem: Graphical Method Unscaling the Solution It was earlier assumed that the value of π‘Ÿ4 is known, however it may not be the case always. Although, it is required to know the size of at least one link initially. Through a scaling factor we can determine the size of other links. Assume that the link length are: 𝑅1, 𝑅2, 𝑅3 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ 𝑅4. 𝑅1 = πΎπ‘Ÿ1 𝑅2 = πΎπ‘Ÿ2 𝑅3 = πΎπ‘Ÿ3 𝑅4 = πΎπ‘Ÿ4 Where K is the scaling factor. After the design procedure is completed we know the value of π‘Ÿ1, π‘Ÿ2, π‘Ÿ3 π‘Žπ‘›π‘‘ π‘Ÿ4. Therefore we need to defined only one of 𝑅1, 𝑅2, 𝑅3 π‘œπ‘Ÿ 𝑅4 to find out the value of K. Knowing K will help in calculating other links.

  • 26. 4 Bar Mechanism The rocker-amplitude problem: Graphical Method: Example A crank-rocker mechanism with a time ratio 2 1 3 and a rocker oscillation angle of 72Β° is to be designed. The oscillation is to be symmetric about a vertical line through π΅βˆ—. Draw the mechanism in any position. If the length of the base link is 2 in, give the length of the other three links. Also show the transmission angles in the position in which the linkage is drawn.
