Sixbar Linkages
Watts sixbar can be solved as 2 fourbar linkages
R1R2R3R4, then R5R6R7R8
R4 and R5 have a constant angle between them
21
Sixbar Linkages
Stephensons sixbar can sometimes be solved as a
fourbar and then a fivebar linkage
R1R2R3R4, then R4R5R6R7R8
R3 and R5 have a constant angle between them
If motor is at O6 you have to solve eqns. simultaneously
