Abstract
In designing planar mechanisms, individual links constructing the mechanisms must be arranged separately on parallel planes to avoid mutual interference during a cycle of motion and the mechanisms have to be constructed in the smallest space possible. In this paper, as for planar eight-bar crank mechanisms with only revolute pairs, the layer arrangement with the minimum number of layers is determined taking the conditions of construction of mechanisms and the full rotation of pairs into consideration. Furthermore, the above-mentioned numbers are applied to classify the types of the eight-bar crank mechanisms which reveal the locations of moving planes of the links and pairs.
