Mechanism Synthesis
Design a mechanism to obtain a specified motion or force. Type Synthesis given the required performance, what type of mechanism is suitable? Linkages, gears, cam and follower, belt and pulley and chain and sprocket. Number Synthesis How many links should the mechanism have? How many degrees of freedom are desired? Dimensional Synthesis deals with determining the length of all links, gear diameter, cam profile.

Mechanism Synthesis
Type Synthesis The Associated Linkage Concept
It is desired to derive various types of mechanisms for driving a slider with a linear translation along a fixed path in a machine. Also, assume that the slider must move with a reciprocating motion.

Draw the link CD in its two desired positions, C1D1 and C2D2 Connect C1 to C2 and D1 to D2 and draw two midnormals to C1C2 and D1D2 The intersection of the two midnormals is the fixed pivot point O4.
Select point B1 anywhere on link O4C1 and locate B2 so O4B1= O4B2 Connect B1 to B2 and extend. Select any location on this line for fixed pivot point O2. Draw a circle with radius B1 B2 / 2, point A is the intersection of the circle with the B1 B2 extension.
