Some Definitions
• Machine – device to transfer or transform
energy to do useful work.
• Mechanism – device to transfer or
transform given input motion to specified
output motion
• Structure – a single body with no motion /
combination of bodies with no relative
motion
Classification of Mechanisms
• Based on the nature of output speed
• Uniform motion mechanism
• Non-uniform motion mechanism

Classification of mechanisms
Based on mobility (D.O.F) of the
mechanism
1. Considering the D.O.F. of output only
a) Constrained Mechanism
b) Unconstrained Mechanism
2. Considering the sum of the D.O.F. Of
input and output motions
a) Single (one) d.o.f. mechanism
b) Multi-d.o.f. mechanism
Constrained Mechanism
• One independent output motion. Output
member is constrained to move in a
particular manner only.
• Example: Four-bar mechanism
Slider Crank Mechanism
Five-bar mechanism with two
inputs
Unconstrained mechanism
• Output motion has more than one D.O.F.
• Example: Automobile Differential during
turning the vehicle on a curve
Five-bar mechanism with one
input
Single D.O.F Mechanism
Sum of the input and output D.O.F. is two.
Single D.O.F. Motion - One Independent
Input motion and one independent
output motion
Examples : Four-Bar Mechanism
Cam-Follower Mechanism

Multi D.O.F. Mechanism
Sum of the input and output motion D.O.F. is
more than two.
Multi D.O.F. Motion – More than one

BASED ON HOW THE CONTACT IS MAINTAINED:
1. Self / Form Closed Pairs – Shape/Form of the links
maintain the contact. No external force.
2. Force Closed Pairs – External forces like
gravitational force, spring force etc., required to maintain the
contact.

4. Type IV / Class IV – Four D.O.F
5. Type V / Class V – Five D.O.F
BASED ON THE NATURE OF CONSTRAINT
1. (Completely) Constrained Pair - 1 D.O.F
2. Unconstrained Pair – More than 1 D.O.F
3. Successfully Constrained pair – Unconstrained
pair converted as Constrained pair by some
means.
• Completely Constrained Pair

kept in permanent contact, permitting particular kind(s) of
definite relative motion(s) between them.

such that each link has minimum two pairs, permitting
controlled definite output motion for a specified input motion.
• Mechanism – A kinematic chain with one link fixed / stationary.
• Machine – A device, which has one or more mechanisms,
transferring / transforming motion and energy to do required
useful work easily.
MOBILITY OR DEGREE OF FREEDOM
• For a Link – Six in spatial motion, three in planar
motion.
• For a Kinematic Pair – Number of independent co-
ordinates/pair variables to specify the position of
one link with another link (OR) number of
independent relative motions possible between the
links. Maximum five and minimum one in spatial
motion. Maximum two and minimum one in planar
motion.
• For a Kinematic Chain/Mechanism – Number of
independent position variables to sketch the
configuration with known link lengths (OR) number
of input motions required to get a constrained
Spatial D.O.F. Planar D.O.F.
R – Pair P – Pair C - Pair
Kinematic Inversions
• Process of obtaining different mechanisms
from the same kinematic chain, by fixing
different links in turn, is known as
kinematic inversion.
Four inversions are possible from four-bar
kinematic chain.
Formation of four-bar
mechanism
• No. of links – 4, No. of pairs – 4.
• All the pairs are revolute pairs.
• Links are :1. Fixed link or Frame
• 2. Input Link
• 3. Coupler
• 4. Output link or Follower
Assembly Condition
• Lengths of links: Longest link - l
Shortest link - s
Intermediate links – p, q
l < s + p + q
Grashofian four-bar mechanism
• Atleast one link will have full rotation if
S + l ≤ p + q
GRASHOF’ S LAW
In a planar four bar revolute pair kinematic chain if the sum
of the lengths of the shortest and the longest links is less
than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the other two
intermediate links at least one link will have full rotation.
Mechanisms obtained from the kinematic chain satisfying
these conditions are known as Grashofian Mechanisms.
Mechanisms obtained from the kinematic chain which are
not obeying these conditions are known as Non-Grashofian
Mechanisms.
Inversions of four bar Mechanisms are named
based on the motions of input link and output link.
Crank - Link with 360 degree rotation
Rocker/Lever – Link with less than 360 degree
rotation
Four- bar Inversions
• Crank – Rocker Mechanisms (Two)
• Drag Link / Double Crank Mechanism
• Double – Rocker Mechanism
• Above are Grashofian Inversions
• All four non-Grashofian inversions are
Double – Rocker mechanisms
Rockers of Grashofian Mechanisms will have
less than 180 degree rotation.
Rockers of Non-Grashofian Mechanisms can
have greater than 180 degree rotation.
KINEMATIC CHAIN MECHANISM
One Link Fixed
Inversion of the kinematic chain depends
upon which link is fixed.
kinematics.ppt
Conditions for Inversions
• POSITION OF F0UR – BAR INVERSION
SHORTEST LINK
• Adjacent to the fixed link Crank – Rocker
• Fixed link itself Drag Link (Double Crank)
• Opposite to fixed link Double Rocker

  • 64. Kinematic Inversions • Process of obtaining different mechanisms from the same kinematic chain, by fixing different links in turn, is known as kinematic inversion. Four inversions are possible from four-bar kinematic chain.
  • 65. Formation of four-bar mechanism • No. of links – 4, No. of pairs – 4. • All the pairs are revolute pairs. • Links are :1. Fixed link or Frame • 2. Input Link • 3. Coupler • 4. Output link or Follower
  • 66. Assembly Condition • Lengths of links: Longest link - l Shortest link - s Intermediate links – p, q l < s + p + q
  • 67. Grashofian four-bar mechanism • Atleast one link will have full rotation if S + l ≤ p + q
  • 68. GRASHOF’ S LAW In a planar four bar revolute pair kinematic chain if the sum of the lengths of the shortest and the longest links is less than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the other two intermediate links at least one link will have full rotation. Mechanisms obtained from the kinematic chain satisfying these conditions are known as Grashofian Mechanisms. Mechanisms obtained from the kinematic chain which are not obeying these conditions are known as Non-Grashofian Mechanisms.
  • 69. Inversions of four bar Mechanisms are named based on the motions of input link and output link. Crank - Link with 360 degree rotation Rocker/Lever – Link with less than 360 degree rotation
  • 70. Four- bar Inversions • Crank – Rocker Mechanisms (Two) • Drag Link / Double Crank Mechanism • Double – Rocker Mechanism • Above are Grashofian Inversions • All four non-Grashofian inversions are Double – Rocker mechanisms
  • 71. Rockers of Grashofian Mechanisms will have less than 180 degree rotation. Rockers of Non-Grashofian Mechanisms can have greater than 180 degree rotation.
  • 72. KINEMATIC CHAIN MECHANISM One Link Fixed Inversion of the kinematic chain depends upon which link is fixed.
  • 74. Conditions for Inversions • POSITION OF F0UR – BAR INVERSION SHORTEST LINK • Adjacent to the fixed link Crank – Rocker • Fixed link itself Drag Link (Double Crank) • Opposite to fixed link Double Rocker
  • 75. Examples for Crank – Rocker Mechanism 1. Wind shield wiper mechanism on Driver Side 2. Sewing Machine Treadle Mechanism
  • 76. 3. Grinding Wheel Treadle Mechanism 4. Pedaling action of a Bicycle
  • 77. Example for Double Crank / Drag Link Mechanism 1. 2. Locomotive Wheels Mechanism
  • 78. Example for Double Rocker Mechanism 1. Wind Shield wiper on Passenger Side 2. Ackerman's Steering Gear Mechanism
