Abstract

In this paper a kinematic analysis is presented for slider-cranks derived from the \(\lambda \)-mechanism. In particular, for this linkage the coupler curves traced by a reference point are Berard curves. By properly choosing the design parameters of the mechanism the coupler curves are represented by quartics, which have been identified and classified.
