KINEMATIC STUDY OF A FOUR-LINK MECHANISM FOR THE PURPOSE OF ITS USE IN THE DESIGN OF NEW MACHINES

This article presents a kinematic study of a four-link mechanism intended for application in the design of new machines. During the design process, especially in the automation of machines and mechanisms, it is essential to determine kinematic parameters. These parameters are obtained through analytical calculations and by developing computer-based calculation programs. The paper provides an example of calculating a specific mechanism with a detailed analysis of its characteristics. Based on this example, similar problems for other related mechanisms can be effectively solved.
