Abstract
In industry, the special kind of trajectory is often designed to fit the desired motion required. In literature, four-bar mechanism is popularly applied and well studied in the trajectory generation. Different types of trajectories are generated by the choose of the ratio of links. The five-bar mechanism is another popular one to generate the desired trajectory and it is more flexible due to it has two degrees of freedom. The geared five-bar mechanism is then commonly used by reducing the degree of freedom of the mechanism into one by implied one pair of gear. In this study, the trajectories generated by a novel cam driven five-bar mechanism proposed by the authors are investigated. It could supply more choices in the application of trajectory generation.
