In a turning pair also degree of freedom is one.when two links are connected such
that one link revolves around another link it forms a turning pair. 3)Cylindrical pair.
In a cylindrical pair degree of freedom is two.If one link turns and slides along
another link it forms a cylindrical pair. 4)Rolling pair. In a rolling pair degree of
freedom is two.The object moves both linearly and angularly. 5)Spherical pair.
In a spherical pair degree of freedom is three.It can both move left and right,up and
down,and rotate along the same point. (b)Based on nature of contact. 1)Lower
pair. If contact between two links is surface contact also having degree of
freedom one, then the pair is known as lower pair. Example: Sliding pair.
2)Higher pair. If contact between two links is either point contact or line contact
then the pair is known as higher pair. Example: Point contact-Rolling pair.
Line contact-Cylindrical pair. 3)Mechanical pair. (a)Open pair. In this pair

mechanism Crank and slotted lever quick return motion mechanism. In
this mechanism,the link AC forming the turning pair is fixed.The driving crank CB
revolves with uniform angular speed about the fixed center C.A sliding block
attached to the crank pin at B slides along the slotted bar AP and thus causes AP to
oscillate about the pivorted point A.A short link PR transmits the motion from AP to
ram which carries the tool and reciprocates along the line of stroke

perpendicular to CD.When the driving crank CA moves from the position CA

This is the equation of a circle of radius AP.

Number of ternary joints = A + B + E + F Equivalent binary joints = 8 Number of
quaternary joints = D, G Equivalent binary joints = 6, Total Number of Equivalent
binary joints J = 15
