Linkage Design

There are four linkage design programs in this package that allow the design and analysis of pin-jointed linkages. All will synthesize and analyze the position, velocity, acceleration, dynamic force and torque of one type of linkage for one position, a full revolution of the input link at constant speed, or the time response to a constant acceleration of the input link. They will also generate and analyze the dynamics of the path of a coupler point on one or more links. The linkage is animated on screen and all calculated data can be plotted or printed to screen, printer, or Excel-compatible disk file. The links on this page will give more detailed information on each program and allow the download of a demo version of each.
