Peaucellier Straight Line Motion
Product Code : JA-PLE-4192
The Peaucellier Straight Line Motion (SKU JA-PLE-4192) is a working model of the eight-link Peaucellier mechanism, which converts rotation into an exact straight line purely through its geometry. The links are mounted on an A3 board so the motion can be demonstrated to a class and traced on paper. This Peaucellier straight line mechanism model is one of a series of sixteen board-mounted mechanisms for theory of machines, kinematics and engineering drawing courses.
Specifications
The mechanism uses eight links: ABCD is a rhombus with four equal sides, O and P are fixed pivots with OP = OC, and as the link OC rotates the point A is moved in an exact straight line.

Applications of the Peaucellier straight line mechanism model
The Peaucellier model shows students a linkage that produces a mathematically exact straight line from pure rotation, so they can trace the path of point A and link it to the rhombus and equal-length geometry of the mechanism.
- Tracing the exact straight-line path of point A as OC rotates
- Explaining the rhombus ABCD and the condition OP = OC
- Plotting the loci of other joints of the eight-link mechanism
- Comparing exact and approximate straight-line linkages in the same series
- Theory of machines, kinematics and engineering drawing classes in polytechnics, TVET institutes and engineering colleges

Frequently asked questions
How many links does the Peaucellier mechanism have?
It is a set of eight links, including the rhombus ABCD with four equal sides.
Is the straight line exact or approximate?
It is exact. The straight line is produced by the geometry of the mechanism, with O and P as fixed pivots and OP = OC.
