It is developed from mechanism shown at
• Fourbar linkage 2B
Two such mechanisms are arranged separately in AC direction.
Two pink cranks and violet bar create a parallelogram mechanism.
Yellow plate nearly linearly translates and is always parallel to the ground.
Length of pink cranks: a
Length of green bars : 2.5a
Length of blue bars: 2.5a + 2.5a
Distances between stationary bearings AC: 2a.
This arrangement can be applied for any tracing mechanism where the translation of a plate along the traced trajectory is needed.
