Have you ever wondered what makes an oscillating fan move side to side? In this video, we break down the simple yet clever ...

Four-bar mechanism: A linkage system consisting of four rigid bars connected by pivots, employed to transform input motion into a desired output motion. Synthesis: ...

Instant centers: four-bar mechanism. Consider the mechanism shown below made up of moveable links AB, BD and DE. Link AB is rotating CCW at a constant rate. Point C is the center of rotation for BD, ...

As they described it, the robot moves using a 4-bar linkage mechanism with the motor’s torque “transferred to the arm mechanisms through a pair of bevel gears and a worm drive.” Even cooler ...
