Synthesis of linkages Graphical Method
1
Mechanism SynthesisDesign or creation of a mechanism to obtain a specified motion or force.
– Given the required performance, what type of mechanism is suitable? Linkages, gears, cam and follower, belt and pulley and chain and sprocket.
• Type Synthesis
2
• Dimensional Synthesis
– How many links should themechanism have? How many degrees of freedom are desired?
• Number Synthesis
sprocket.
– Deals with determining the length of all links, gear diameter, cam profile.
Mechanism SynthesisFunction Generation, Path Generation, Body Guidance
Path Generation-
Function Generation- Design requirement is that of causingout put member to rotate, oscillate, or reciprocate according toa specified function of time or function of the input motion.
3
Path Generation- Refers to a problem in which a coupler point is to generate a path having prescribed shape. i.e. circular arc, elliptical, or straight line
Body Guidance- Deals with moving an object from oneposition to another. May be simple translation orcombination of translation and rotation. i.e. MovingBulldozer blades.
Mechanism SynthesisDimensional and position Synthesis
Graphical Methods – provide the designer with a quick straightforward method but parameters cannot easily be manipulated to create new solutions.

solutions.
– this approach is suitable for automatic computation. Once a mechanism is modeled and coded for computer, parameters are easily manipulated to create new designs.

Two position synthesis of slider crank mechanism
•Stroke B1B2 is always > 2* r2
•Limiting positions B1 and B2 = r3+r2 and r3- r2
• Crank angle required to executive the forward stroke is different from that for the

different from that for the return stroke.
•This feature can be used in quick return mechanisms

Two position synthesis of crank and rocker mechanism
•Limiting positions B1 and B2 = r3+r2 and r3- r2
• Crank and coupler form a single straight line at each extreme position.
•Forward stroke- Crank

Graphical Synthesis; Quick – Return Mechanism
Q = time of advance stroke / time of return stroke
Advance stroke – mechanism operates under the load.
Return stroke – mechanism operates under no load.
