PROBLEM 2-35
Statement: Figure P2-16 shows a manual press used to compact powdered materials. Sketch its kinematic
diagram, determine its mobility and its type (i.e., is it a fourbar, a Watt's sixbar, a Stephenson's
sixbar, an eightbar, or what?) Use reverse linkage transformation to determine its pure
revolute-jointed equivalent linkage.
1. Sketch a kinematic diagram of the mechanism. The mechanism is shown on the left and a kinematic model of it
is sketched on the right. It is a fourbar linkage with 1 DOF (see below).

2. Use equation 2.1c to determine the DOF (mobility). There are 4 links, 3 full pin joints, 1 full sliding joint, and 0
half joints. This is a fourbar slider-crank.

3. Use rule 1 (on page 42) to transform the full sliding joint to a full pin joint for no change in DOF. The resulting
kinematically equivalent linkage has 4 links, 4 full pin joints, no half joints, and is shown below.
