Two FSP Synthesis of Eight Link Gear Mechanism for Motion Generation With 9r-1g Joints

Abstract

The paper presents a mechanism consisting of nine revolute and one gear joints. A planar eight link gear mechanism having two degrees of freedom is considered for synthesis using variable topology method operating in two phases for the task of motion generation. Complex number method is presented as an ideal tool for synthesizing the linkage. Seven link gear mechanism is considered as a portion of eight link gear mechanism in each phase and illustrated with an example. These seven link gear mechanism portions of eight link gear mechanism are designed for two finitely separated positions. Variable topology method focuses on a non-iterative and simplified way of mechanism synthesis.
