LOCATION OF INSTANTANEOUS CENTRES BY VISUAL INSPECTION
The
following tips may be used in locating the instantaneous centres in a mechanism
by visual inspection.
1.
When two links are connected by a pin joint, the instantaneous centre lies on
the centre of the pin, as shown in Figs.2.29(a) and (b).
2.
When the two links have a sliding contact, the instantaneous centre lies at
infinity in a direction perpendicular to the path of motion of the slider, as
shown in Fig.2.29(c).
3.
When the two links have a pure rolling contact, the instantaneous centre lies
on their point of contact, as shown in Figs.2.29(d) and (e).
