A six-bar linkage is a one degree-of-freedom mechanism that is constructed from six links and seven joints.〔( J. M. McCarthy and G. S. Soh, Geometric Design of Linkages, 2nd Edition, Springer 2010 )〕 An example is the Klann linkage used to drive the legs of a walking machine. In general, each joint of a linkage connects two links, and a binary link supports two joints. If we consider a hexagon to be constructed from six binary links with six of the seven joints forming its vertices, then, the seventh joint can be added to connect two sides of the hexagon to forming a six-bar linkage with two ternary links connected by one joint. This type of six-bar linkage is said to have the Watt topology.〔An animation of (a six-bar linkage with the Watt topology. )〕 A six-bar linkage can also be constructed by first assembling five binary links into a pentagon, which uses five of the seven joints, and then completing the linkage by adding a binary link that connects two sides of the pentagon. This again creates two ternary links that are now separated by one or more binary links. This type of six-bar linkage is said to have the Stephenson topology. The Klann linkage has the Stephenson topology. ==Watt six-bar linkage== Watt's parallel motion generator consists of the four-bar linkage that has a coupler curve that traces an approximately straight line trajectory, combined with a parallelogram linkage that copies this straight line movement to a desired location. This configuration of a six bars and seven joints has two four-bar loops. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Six-bar linkage」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
