Linkages |
||||||
|
Linkages are mechanisms which
allow force or motion to be directed where it is needed.
Linkages can be used to change: The direction of motion The type of motion The size of a force A linkage consists of a system of rods or other rigid materials connected by joints or pivots. The ability of each rod to move will be limited by moving and fixed pivots. The input at one end of the mechanical linkages will be different from the output, in place, speed, direction and other ways.
