  1. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    • A mechanical linkage is an assembly of systems connected so as to manage forces and movement. The movement of a body, or link, is studied using geometry so the link is considered to be rigid. The connections between links are modeled as providing ideal movement, pure rotation or sliding for example, and are called joints. A linkage modeled as a networ… See more

    History

    Archimedes applied geometry to the study of the lever. Into the 1500s the work of Archimedes and Hero of Alexandria were … See more

    Mobility

    The configuration of a system of rigid links connected by ideal joints is defined by a set of configuration parameters, such as the angles around a revolute joint and the slides along prismatic joints measured between ad… See more

    Joints

    The most familiar joints for linkage systems are the revolute, or hinged, joint denoted by an R, and the prismatic, or sliding, joint denoted by a P. Most other joints used for spatial linkages are modeled as combinatio… See more
