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.

Abstract Geometrical interpretations of two line-based formulations of successive finite displacements in terms of screw product operations is discussed. The pitch of the screw product of two unit line vectors is shown to be the ratio of the distance to the tangent of the projected angle between the two lines. Finite twists in Dimentberg’s formulation are interpreted as the screw product of unit line vectors divided by the scalar product of the same unit line vectors. Finite twists in the linear representation are the screw product of unit line vectors divided by the scalar product of the direction-cosine vectors of the same lines.
