Interactive Five-Bar Geared Linkage Kinematic Analysis



Given the link lengths, theta1, theta2, omega2, alpha2, lambda, phi, and the coupler point vector, the interface below allows the user to find the angular positions, velocities, and accelerations of each link, along with the instantaneous position, velocity, and acceleration of the coupler point P.


Link lengths: r1: r2: r3: r4: r4:
Mode for all angles (beta,theta1,theta2,phi):
Coupler Vector: rp: beta:

Base and input angles:
theta1: theta2:

Angular velocity and acceleration of link2:
omega2: alpha2:

Link5 angle parameters: lambda: phi:
