On the Synthesis of a Five Bar Linkage for Linear Trajectory Using a CAD Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper demonstrates how to use CAD Software (Pro/ENGINEER in our case) to generate a cam profile. This cam will be used in a five bar linkage for which the input elements are synchronized through a cam-follower mechanism. The cam profile is generated so that the five bar mechanism produces a certain curve. The paper presents the synthesis method after which a simulation is executed to verify the results.
