1 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.

2 Example of Mechanism Can crusher Simple press Rear-window wiper Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 2

3 Example of Mechanisms Moves packages from an assembly bench to a conveyor Lift platform Microwave carrier to assist people on wheelchair Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 3

4 Example of Mechanisms Lift platform Front loader Device to close the top flap of boxes Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 4

9 Four-Bar Linkage Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 9

10 Four-Bar Linkage Categories Case I shortest link + longest link < summation of the other two links s + l < p + q 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) Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 10

11 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. Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 11

12 Four-Bar Linkage Categories Case I shortest link + longest link < summation of the other two links 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 Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 12

13 Case II Four-Bar Linkage Categories 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).
