Abstract

This paper deals with a computer aided design analysis of the six—bar quick return mechanism. The different dimensionless geometrical parameters and their effects on the kinematical characteristics of the mechanism are theoretically investigated. Compact design charts for velocitytacceleration and bearing reactions are presented and which provide the designer with optimal selections of link dimensions.
