Info
The output link (in white) remains stationary briefly in the beginning and end of the simulation. The coupler point on the coupler link (in yellow) of the fourbar linkage (in red and yellow) traces a curve containing two approximate straight-line segments. The coupler point is connected to a slider (in black), sliding on a pivoted track (in white), with the pivot located at the intersection of the straight-line segments.
When the block moves in this straight-line segments, the output link remains stationary.
