Prismatic joint
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A prismatic joint provides a linear sliding movement between two bodies, and is often called a slider, as in the slider-crank linkage. A prismatic joint can be formed with a polygonal cross-section to resist rotation. See for example the dovetail joint and linear bearings.
The relative position of two bodies connected by a prismatic joint is defined by the amount of linear slide of one relative to the other one. This one parameter movement identifies this joint as a one degree of freedom kinematic pair. .[1]
Prismatic joints provide single-axis sliding often found in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders.[2]
