Research results of spatial mechanisms and directions of their application in farming machinery

Abstract

The paper touches upon the issue of spatial hinge mechanisms with a special structure, developed on the basis of Bennett’s spatial four-bar linkage. The interest in the study of such mechanisms and their use in technology is constantly growing, since they are distinguished by a high efficiency, the transmission accuracy of motion law, the rigidity of the structure and the ability to transfer high loads. In addition, the hinges of the mechanisms are represented only by rotating pairs, which in the design of the hinge units allows the use of rolling bearings and reliably isolate the units from the external environment. The authors give several areas of application of mechanisms as basic and independent devices in technology, including the agro-industrial complex.
