Virtually any machine or device that moves contains one or more kinematic
elements such as links, gears, cams, belts, chains.
A link is a rigid body that possesses at least 2 nodes that are points of
attachment to other links
Types:
1. Binary link 2nodes
2. Ternary link
3. Quaternary link
Kinematic chain:
A Kinematic chain is an assembly of links in which the relative motion of the
links is possible and the motion of each relative to the other is definite.

Higher pairs exist in cam mechanisms, gear trains, ball and roller bearings and roll-slide
joints, etc.
For planar motion, both line contact higher pairs and point contact higher pairs have
two degrees-of-freedom.
The only constraint at the contact point is along the common normal.
A pin-in-slot joint (rolling contact with sliding) is also a higher pair with a line contact
between the pin and the slot.

to specify its position.

Kinematic chain:
A Kinematic chain is an assembly of links in which the relative motion of the
links is possible and the motion of each relative to the other is definite.
A closed chain is a consecutive set of links in which the last link is connected
to the first.
An open chain is the one in which the last link is not connected to the first
link.
