Mechanism
Machines are mechanical devices used to accomplish work. A mechanism is a heart of a machine. It is the mechanical portion of the machine that has the function of transferring motion and forces from a power source to an output.
Mechanism is a system of rigid elements (linkages) arranged and connected to transmit motion and/or force in a predetermined fashion.
Mechanism consists of linkages and joints.

Four-Bar Linkage
Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 10
Four-Bar Linkage Categories
Case I shortest link + longest link < summation of the other two links
a) Shortest link is the driver with either one of the intermediate links as the ground link (fixed). The result is two different types of crank-rocker mechanisms, input link rotates 360 (crank) and output link oscillates (rocker)
s + l < p + q

Four-Bar Linkage Categories
Case I shortest link + longest link < summation of the other two links
b) Shortest link is fixed. The result is a double-crank mechanism. Both, input and output links rotate 360.

Four-Bar Linkage Categories
c) The longest link is fixed and either one of the intermediate links is the driver. The result is a double-rocker mechanism. Both, input and output links oscillate.
Grashof condition – one link rotates 360
Case I shortest link + longest link < summation of the other two links
Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 13
Four-Bar Linkage CategoriesCase II shortest link + longest link > summation of the other two links
There are four possible mechanisms depending on which link is fixed. All
mechanisms are double-rockers.
Case III shortest link + longest link = summation of the other two links
Same mechanisms as in case I with the addition of a branching point (all links become collinear).

Slider-Crank Mechanism
In-line slider crank mechanism
The mechanism has a stroke B1B2 equal twice the crank length r2.
Locations B1 and B2 are called the extreme positions (limiting) of the slider

Path Generation Mechanisms
In path generation, we are concerned only with the path of a tracer point and not with the motion (rotation) of the coupler link.

Type of Motion and Mechanisms
Translation to Translation
Most power sources that are readily available today are either of the pure rotational motion type, such as electric motor or hand crank, or of the pure translational type, such as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder, or linear actuators.
