Mechanical Linkages

Mechanical linkages are systems of connected components, such as rods, levers, and joints, that transmit motion and force from one part of a machine to another. They are designed to convert movement in one area into a different type or direction of movement elsewhere, enabling complex tasks like opening a valve or steering a vehicle. Essentially, linkages act as mechanical "rules" that control how parts move relative to each other, allowing machines to perform precise and coordinated actions efficiently.
