  1. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    • The slider-crank linkage (RRRP) is one type of arrangement such that one link is a crank, which is then connected to a slider by a connecting rod. The inverted slider-crank is another type of arrangement such that there are two cranks with a slider acting as the coupler. See more

    Overview

    In the study of mechanisms, a four-bar linkage, also called a four-bar, is the simplest closed-chain movable See more

    Planar four-bar linkage

    Planar four-bar linkages are constructed from four links connected in a loop by four one-degree-of-freedom joints. A joint may be either a revolute joint – also known as a pin joint or hinged joint – denoted by R, or a prismatic joint – … See more

    Planar quadrilateral linkage

    Planar quadrilateral linkage, RRRR or 4R linkages have four rotating joints. One link of the chain is usually fixed, and is called the ground link, fixed link, or the frame. The two links connected to the frame are called the ground… See more

     
  1. Rocker: Any link which does not revolve is called a rocker. Crank-rocker mechanism: In a four bar linkage, if the shorter side link revolves and the other one rocks (i.e., oscillates), it is called a crank-rocker mechanism. Double-crank mechanism: In a four bar linkage, if both of the side links revolve, it is called a double-crank mechanism.

    In their simplest use as function generators, the crank-rocker converts full input rotation into a re-rocking output, while the double-crank linkage converts uniform full-rotation input into a full, but non-uniform, rotational output.

    Crank: If it touches the ground and can undergo complete revolutions. We may have 0, 1, or 2 cranks in a four-bar mechanism. Rocker: If it touches the ground and can only go back and forth. We may have 0, 1, or 2 rockers.
