Inversion of Mechanism:
The method of obtaining different mechanisms by fixing different links in a kinematic chain, is known as inversion of the mechanism.
By fixing the one link of kinematic chain at one time, mechanism is formed.
Example: A kinematic chain having four links makes four different mechanisms by fixing its different link one at time.
Types of Kinematic Chain
Kinematic chain
1. Four bar chain
(All four turning Pair)
Slider crank chain
2. (Three turning
and One Sliding pair )
3. Double slider crank
chain (Two turning and
Two sliding pair)
