Basic Link Mechanisms-Ay
purpose of transmitting
force or motion.
Classification of links :
Rigid link -> Which does not undergo any deformation while
transmitting motion.
Types of constraints :
Completely constrained motion : If the constrained motion is obtained
by its own links.
Rolling pair : Two links are connected in such that one of the link rolls
over the other.
Screw pair : The relative motion between the two links is the
combination of sliding and turning.
erical pair : One of the link in the form of a sphere and it is rotated in a fixed lin

Open pair : Elements of a pair that are not held together mechanically
are unclosed pairs.

L = 2p-4
Where L = No. of links,
p = No. of pairs
a) If L = 2p-4 condition is satisfied then the link is Completely Constrained
and have specific relative motion.
b) If L = 2p-3 condition is satisfied then the Kinematic chain is locked and
accept no relative motion.
c) If L = 2p-5 condition is satisfied then the Kinematic chain is
incompletely constrained and relative motion between the links is not
definite.
ctures : No relative motion between the links or it is also called as Locked chain
