LINKAGE ASSEMBLY

In mechanical engineering, a linkage is a system of interconnected components designed to transfer motion and force in a predetermined manner. Linkages consist of rigid bodies called links, which are connected by joints that allow relative motion. The main types of joints are: Revolute (rotary) joints: Allow rotational movement. Prismatic (sliding) joints: Allow linear movement. Spherical joints: Allow rotational movement in multiple directions. Linkages are used in various applications, such as machinery, vehicles, and robotics, to achieve complex movements and mechanical advantage.
