Four-bar position, speed ratio and drive torque calculator

Engineering calculators (Beta)

Explore either assembly branch of a four-bar linkage, output angle, instantaneous speed ratio and quasi-static input torque.

Inputs

Choose units and enter numbers. Full-width digits and fractions such as 1/8 or 1 3/8 are accepted. Changing a unit converts the entered value.

Results

Reference calculation only. Results do not certify suitability for an actual design or its safety.

Formula and applicability

C=a(cosθ,sinθ); |D−C|=f; |D−(g,0)|=b. Velocity: a tθ+f tγ(dγ/dθ)=b tβ(dβ/dθ). Ti=To(dβ/dθ), no=ni(dβ/dθ).

Displayed values are rounded. Diagrams illustrate the calculation conditions. Initial material and fluid properties are examples; replace them with values for the actual material, temperature and conditions.

Reference
Using this information as a reference

Equations assume particular loads, supports and deformation ranges. Check inputs, units and the applicability of each equation. Diagrams explain conditions; they are not manufacturing drawings or proof of safety.

Material values are typical values or reference ranges, not certified product properties or ready-to-use design allowables. They vary with standards, product form, dimensions, temper and temperature. Check the specifications and inspection certificates for the actual product.

Displayed safety factors and checks apply only to the supplied inputs and calculation model. They do not automatically establish the safety of a complete design, including code compliance, service life, fatigue or joints. For actual design, manufacture and use, separately verify applicable regulations and standards, product specifications, and the necessary tests and engineering review.

この計算で求められること

4本のリンク長と入力角度から、2つの組立姿勢と出力角度、準静的な必要トルクを確認します。

入力・結果・適用条件を確認する

主な入力

  • 固定支点間 g
  • 入力リンク a
  • 中間リンク f
  • 出力リンク b
  • 入力角度 θ(+は反時計回り)
  • 組立姿勢(C→固定支点Bの線を基準)
  • 入力回転数 nᵢ(+は反時計回り)
  • 出力へ伝える反時計回りトルク To

得られる結果

  • 出力リンク角度 β (°)
  • 中間リンク角度 γ (°)
  • 瞬間速度比 dβ/dθ (—)
  • 出力回転数 no(符号付き) (rpm)
  • 準静的入力トルク Ti(符号付き) (N·m)
  • 可動支点Dのx位置(A基準) (mm)
  • 可動支点Dのy位置(A基準) (mm)
  • 伝達角の鋭角側 μ (°)

C=a(cosθ,sinθ); |D−C|=f; |D−(g,0)|=b. Velocity: a tθ+f tγ(dγ/dθ)=b tβ(dβ/dθ). Ti=To(dβ/dθ), no=ni(dβ/dθ).

摩擦のない剛体・平面4節リンクです。固定支点A=(0,0)、B=(g,0)で角度の正方向は反時計回りです。Tiは入力軸から機構へ加えるトルク、Toは機構から出力側へ伝えるトルクとして仮想仕事で計算します。負のTiは同じ回転方向に対する制動・逆向き駆動を表します。Toと出力速度が逆符号なら、出力側から機構へ動力が入ります。慣性・重力・摩擦・リンク強度・ピン面圧は含みません。一直線の特異姿勢では速度・トルク計算を停止します。表示した1姿勢が成立しても全周回転できるとは限りません。

Inputs, outputs and applicability

Inputs

  • Fixed-pivot spacing g
  • Input link a
  • Coupler f
  • Output link b
  • Input angle θ, positive counterclockwise
  • Assembly branch about C→fixed pivot B
  • Input speed nᵢ, positive counterclockwise
  • Counterclockwise torque To delivered at output

Results

  • Output-link angle β (°)
  • Coupler angle γ (°)
  • Instantaneous speed ratio dβ/dθ (—)
  • Signed output speed no (rpm)
  • Signed quasi-static input torque Ti (N·m)
  • Moving joint D x from A (mm)
  • Moving joint D y from A (mm)

C=a(cosθ,sinθ); |D−C|=f; |D−(g,0)|=b. Velocity: a tθ+f tγ(dγ/dθ)=b tβ(dβ/dθ). Ti=To(dβ/dθ), no=ni(dβ/dθ).

Rigid, frictionless planar four-bar linkage with A=(0,0), B=(g,0) and positive counterclockwise angles. Ti is torque applied from the input shaft to the mechanism; To is torque delivered by the mechanism to the output, related by virtual work. Negative Ti indicates braking or reverse drive for positive input motion. Opposite signs of To and output speed mean power enters at the output. Inertia, gravity, friction, link strength and pin bearing are excluded. Velocity/torque calculation is rejected at collinear singular configurations. A feasible displayed pose does not prove full rotation is possible.
