How to specify parameters via calculations in 4 bar linkage

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing a 4-bar compound linkage mechanism, specifically addressing calculations for output torque, power, angular velocity, and force. The user seeks assistance with the equations necessary for these calculations, as well as methods to restrict the motion of the first and second bars to 90 degrees. Additionally, the user requires guidance on analyzing input angles and estimating dimensions for each link in the mechanism.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of torque and force in mechanical systems
  • Familiarity with angular velocity and power calculations
  • Knowledge of kinematic analysis for 4-bar linkages
  • Basic skills in mechanical design and dimension estimation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the equations for calculating output torque in 4-bar linkages
  • Learn about kinematic analysis techniques for 4-bar mechanisms
  • Explore methods for restricting motion in mechanical linkages
  • Investigate dimension estimation techniques for linkage design
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, designers of linkage mechanisms, and students studying kinematics and dynamics in mechanical systems.

Hi I'm looking to design a 4 bar compound linkage.
I know how torque, force, power and angular velocity are transferred on four bar mechanisms.
Could someone help me with compound four bar calculations?

The lower arrow shoes the input torque.
I need to design this linkage mechanism.
Could somebody help me with the calculations for output torque, power, angular velocity and force.

I just need help with the equations.
Also. I need to restrict the motion of the first 4 bar to 90 degree and the second to be 90 degree with respect to the first.

Since it turns on a range of angles, I need some way of analysing all of those input angles and their outputs.Also. I need help with estimating dimensions for each of these bars/links. How do I do that?HELP ASAP please.
