Across
  1. 4. other term for one of the two primary joints; allows linear sliding between the links that it connects.
  2. 7. the pivoted link that is connected to the driver or power source
  3. 8. is the component that drives the mechanism.
  4. 10. is a simple link that oscillates through an angle, reversing its direction at certain intervals.
  5. 12. are mechanisms having motion that is limited to two-dimensional space.
  6. 13. Degrees of freedom for planar linkages joined with common joints can be calculated through this equation.
  7. 14. is a type of link that contains only two joints, which connect it to other links.
  8. 15. one of the two primary joints; allows pure rotation between the two links that it connects.
  9. 16. a part of the linkage that serves as the reference for the motion of all other parts and typically exhibits no motion
  10. 19. number of degrees of freedom of a mechanism is also called
  11. 22. mechanisms; Linkages with zero, or negative, degrees of freedom are termed.
  12. 23. diagrams representing the parts in skeleton form so that only the dimensions that influence the motion of the mechanism are shown; aka.“Stripped-down” sketches of mechanisms
  13. 24. are devices used to alter, transmit, and direct forces to accomplish a specific objective.
  14. 25. aka output link; the other pivoted link that is attached to the frame
Down
  1. 1. is the mechanical portion of a machine that has the function of transferring motion and forces from a power source to an output.
  2. 2. motion; measured with respect to a stationary frame.
  3. 3. aka connecting arm; connects or transports the motion of the input link to the output link.
  4. 5. kinematic __; Utilizing alternate links to serve as the fixed link,
  5. 6. is a simple link that is able to complete a full rotation about a fixed center.
  6. 9. is a type of link that contains more than two joints.
  7. 11. deals with the way things move. It is the study of the geometry of motion.
  8. 17. is a movable connection between links and allows relative motion between the links.
  9. 18. are the individual parts of the mechanism; considered rigid bodies and are connected with each other to transmit motion and forces.
  10. 20. motion; measured for one point or link with respect to another link.
  11. 21. is a mechanism where rigid parts are connected together to form a chain.
