How Does Linkage Motion Affect Rotation and Yaw in 3D Space?
Click For Summary
Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the effects of linkage motion on rotation and yaw in 3D space, focusing on the mechanics of a specific linkage system involving pin joints and brackets. Participants are exploring the relationships between angles, axes of rotation, and the implications of hinge arrangements.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- Some participants question the use of the term "yaw" in relation to the linkage's motion, suggesting that clarity is needed regarding its application.
- There is mention of lateral movement of the link being parallel to the z-axis or at an angle, indicating potential complexity in the motion being described.
- Participants highlight that the effectiveness of the hinge arrangement affects the motion of the rod, which can move laterally or rotate about the z-axis.
- Concerns are raised about the lack of specific dimensions and details in the initial question, which complicates the ability to provide a clear answer.
- It is noted that the rod can rotate about its own axis (twist) in addition to side-to-side movement, suggesting multiple degrees of freedom in the linkage's motion.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants do not appear to reach a consensus, as there are competing views regarding the terminology used and the specifics of the linkage's motion. The discussion remains unresolved with various interpretations of the mechanics involved.
Contextual Notes
Limitations include the absence of specific dimensions and details about the linkage system, which may affect the clarity of the discussion. The implications of the hinge arrangement and its design are also not fully explored.

Is your question about the use of the word "yaw"? This will happen if the bottom hinge cheeks do not fit exactly. You need to be "clear" first.Micheal_Leo said:
Lateral movement of the link can be parallel with the z axis or at an angle (tipping). Are you looking for a way to specify what you need?

the link has pin joint with bracket which fixed and also link move back and forth, so i am trying to fugure out that motion and angle how this link will make in the 3d axis i mention it

It depends on how good you make the hinge arrangement, surely. The rod can move laterally or rotate about the z axis. Is that not obvious? Motion can be limited by having a long enough bearing and pin and / ormaking sure that the D shaped bracket in your picture is big enough and tight enough on the rod. You have not specified the actual dimensions so how can I answer your question? In fact you haven't actually asked a questionMicheal_Leo said:
I asked you why you used the word "yaw". You could add the word "rotation"but you need more (3D) details on your sketch. The rod can rotate about its axis (twist) as well as from side to side.
