This paper investigates, via numerical simulations, the finite displacements of all the known Bennett-based 6R overconstrained linkages: Goldberg’s 6R, variant Goldberg 6R, Waldron’s hybrid 6R, and Wohlhart’s hybrid 6R linkages. An investigation of the finite displacements of nine distinct linkages reveals that every Bennett-based 6R linkage, except for the isomerization of Wohlhart’s hybrid linkage, inherits the linear properties of the Bennett mechanism. The relative finite displacement screws of some non-adjacent links of these linkages form screw systems of the second order. Thirty-one screw systems are reported in this paper.

A complete family of double-Goldberg 6 R linkages is reported in this article by combining a subtractive Goldberg 5 R linkage and a Goldberg 5 R linkage through the common link-pair or common Bennett-linkage method. A number of distinct types of overconstrained linkages are built, namely the mixed double-Goldberg 6 R linkages. They all have one degree of freedom and their closure equations are derived in detail. One of them degenerates into a Goldberg 5 R linkage. From the construction process and geometry conditions, the corresponding relationship between the newly found 6 R linkages and the double-Goldberg 6 R linkages, constructed from two Goldberg 5 R linkages or two subtractive Goldberg 5 R linkages, has been established.

Among the 3D single-loop overconstrained linkages, quite a number of them are combinations of Bennett linkages. Mobility on the overconstrained linkages including the Bennett-based linkages is known to be one of the difficult topics in kinematics. In the paper, a new approach based on the linear superposition principle for determining the orders of Bennett-based linkages is proposed, and the mobility of some typical Bennett-based linkages is calculated with the Modified Gru¨bler-Kutzbach criterion. In addition, geometric properties of some of the screw systems are employed to identify whether the mobility is global.

Based on the derived matrix and its differential equations, a systematic formulation is presented to either identify the simple stationary configurations of movable spatial 4R, 5R and 6R overconstrained linkages or prove none of them occurs at all. Some examples are given to confirm the correctness and validity of the derived mathematical criterion. In addition, the closed-form solutions of linkage joint variables are well-established and with the help of computer graphics, geometrical meanings of linkage configurations are described. This approach can be used to provide a foundation for understanding the range of motion in overconstrained linkage application.
