Abstract
Toggle mechanism is used widely in the mechanical industry for various applications ranging from injection molding machines to tools & fixtures. Toggle clamps are available for different types to suit desired application. This paper explores the kinematic analysis of the toggle clamping mechanism. Toggle mechanism considered here is actuated by hydraulic cylinder. Position, velocity and acceleration analysis is described in this work, for this analysis toggle clamping mechanism is fragmented into two basic mechanisms, Slider-Crank mechanism and Four-Bar Mechanism. Slider-Crank generates torque and output force in the toggle clamp mechanism so emphasis is given on slider-crank mechanism in this work. Toggle clamp mechanism for work- piece bending operation is described in this work. Mechanical advantage of the linkage is the key parameter for linkage performance, mechanical advantage and it's relation with torque and link parameter is discussed in brief.
