Type of Joints โ€“ Kinematic Pairs

Lower Pairs โ€“ motion is transmitted through an

area contact, pin and slider joints.

Higher Pairs โ€“ motion is transmitted through a

line or a point contact; gears, rollers, and

spherical joints.

Joints

The Revolute joint (pin or hinge joint) - one degree

of freedom

It allows pure rotation between the two links that it connects (R joints)

Joints

The Helical joint (helix or screw joint) - one degree of

freedom

The sliding and rotational motions are related by the helix angle of the thread (H joint)

Joints

The Cylindrical (cylindric) joint - two degrees of freedom

It permits both angular rotation and an independent sliding motion (C joint)

Joints

The Planar ( flat ) - Three degree of freedom

It permits rotational motion about the Z axes axis and sliding motion in x and y axes (F joint), used seldom in design

Joints

A cam joint allows both rotation and sliding between two links. A gear connection also allows both rotation and sliding as the gear teeth mesh

Degrees of Freedom (DOF) โ€“ Type of Joints,

Higher Pairs

Belt and pulley (no sliding) or chain and sprocket โ€“ 1 DOF

Spring โ€“ no effect on mechanism DOF

Degrees of Freedom (DOF) โ€“ Type of Joints, Lower Pairs

Each pin connection removes two degrees of freedom of relative motion between two successive links.

A slider is constrained against moving in the vertical direction as well as being constrained from rotating in the plane.

Two degrees of freedom joints are sometimes called a half a joint (Norton).

A spheric pair is a ball and socket joint, 3 DOF.

The helical pair has the sliding and rotational motion related by the helix angle of the screw.

Planar pair is seldom used

Degrees of Freedom (DOF)

Planar (2D) mechanisms

Degrees of Freedom โ€“ number

of independent coordinates

required to completely specify

the position of the link

Three independent coordinates

needed to specify the location of

the link AB, x A, y A, and angle ๏ฑ

An unconstrained link in a plane has three degrees of freedom,

a mechanism with L links has 3 L degrees of freedom

Degrees of Freedom (DOF)

Kutzbachโ€™s (modified Groubler) equation

DOF = degree of freedom or mobility

L = number of links, including ground link

J 1 = number of 1 DOF joints (full joints)

J 2 = number of 2 DOF joints (half joints)

DOF โ‰ค 0 structure

DOF > 0 mechanism

DOF = 3( L โ€“ 1) โ€“ 2 J 1 โ€“ J 2

Degrees of Freedom (DOF) โ€“ trench hoe

Number of links, L = 12, (^) Number of one DOF joints, J 1 = 12 (pins) + 3 (slider) = 15,

Number of two DOF joints, J 2 = 0

DOF = 3( L โ€“ 1) โ€“ 2 J 1 โ€“ J 2 = 3(12-1) -2(15) = 3
