The four bar linkage is a type of mechanical linkage that is used in many different devices. A few examples are: locking pliers, bicycles, oil well pumps, loaders, internal combustion engines, ...

A lever is a simple mechanism that uses a bar to pivot around a fixed point called a fulcrum. Levers can be joined together to form linkages. Simple linkages can be used to change the direction of ...

Reconfigurable parallel mechanisms represent a dynamic frontier in robotic and mechanical design, where modularity, flexibility and precision converge to address complex motion requirements. By ...
