Option 4 : III only

Concept:

Oldham’s coupling mechanism:

  • It is the third inversion of the double slider crank chain.

  • Double Slider Crank Chain consists of four pairs out of which two are turning pairs and two others are sliding pairs.
  • Link 1 and link 4 is sliding pair, link 1 and link 2 is turning pair, link 2 and link 3 is second turning pair, link 3 and link 4 is second sliding pair.

Lower kinematic pairs:

  • If there is area contact between mating elements, the pair formed is known as lower kinematic pair.
  • On the basis of the degree of freedom lower pairs are divided into two groups:
  • Linear motion pairs: DOF = 1, Ex. P, R, H pairs.
  • Surface motion pairs: DOF > 1, Ex. C, G, E  pairs.
  • Therefore, lower kinematic pairs have one or more than one DOF possible.
  • In a planar mechanism, each linear motion pairs will restrict two DOF(i.e. Permit only one DOF).

Spherical pair

  • Two elements of a pair are connected in such a way that one element (with the spherical shape) turns or swivels about the other fixed element.
  • e.g. the ball and socket joint, attachment of a car mirror, pen stand etc.
  • Spherical joint or pair has three degrees of freedom.
  • And due to more than one degree of freedom, it is surface motion pairs results in a lower pair.
  • Each revolute joint has one degree of freedom and introduces five constraints, while each spherical joint has three degrees of freedom and introduces three constraints.`
