Abstract

Necessary and sufficient conditions of motion transfer for a particular case of the RSSR linkage is further derived and simplified. This particular case is considered when the frame is coincided with input and output axes distance, which may also be called as "simply skewed form" of RSSR. The results show that the conditions of crank existence for this particular case can be represented in a way quite resembling the Grashof criterion applicable to planar four bar linkages, and thus are of very simple expression and geometric sense. (The term "simple" normally implies that overhand computation by "rigours" programming may not be needed.).
