Abstract:
A method of designing guided chain drive mechanism with linkage
basing on the given motion track is expounded. The method
consists of two steps that are synthesizing four-bar linkage
approximately first and then deducing guide track, removing
crank and jointing free end with chain. An example of synthesis
that can realize the given motion track precisely is provided.
Key words: Chain
