Problem of Complete Revoluition of the Input Crank in a Coplanar Four-bar Linkage of the Third Modification with Internal Prismatic Kinematic Pair

Abstract

The problem of complete revolution of links in a four-link coulisse mechanism is discussed. This is important for the dimensional synthesis of the mechanism. Conditions of presence of crank are obtained for different combinations of lengths of links; extreme toggle positions of the coulisse are determined.
