Abstract:
The paper contains the proposal how to reduce many–elements plane mechanism with one degree of freedom to chosen axis or line as one–element model of mechanism. Mostly the place of reduction is driving element in rotary motion (for example, shaft of electric motor) or element in linear motion (for example, piston rod of hydraulic cylinder). The way of determining reduced load and reduced mass of the model is described. Presented mathematical description let determine: firstly, required driving torque or force to provide the suitable acceleration when loads of element are known and secondly, the acceleration (angular or linear) of driving element as result of known driving torque or force and loads of element.
