Abstract

Parametric design charts are proposed for the central-lever steering linkage, generated for simplified reference configuration mechanisms, the geometry of which is defined by only four parameters. This highlights the fact, yet not generally acknowledged, that the steering law ensured by a mechanism with adjacent central joints (known as bell crank mechanism), can be identically generated by a triple central joint variant of the same. Particular configurations are identified in which the length of the central lever does not affect the wheel-to-wheel transmission function of the mechanism, permitting a simplified synthesis for the cases in which the maximum stroke of the input member is imposed as a design specification.
