Dimensions (unit length a):
Link 2: a
Link 3: any multiple of a
Link 1 (distance between ground joints): 2aIn kinematics, the Hoecken linkage (named for Karl Hoecken)[1] is a four-bar linkage that converts rotational motion to approximate straight-line motion. The Hoecken linkage is a cognate linkage of the Chebyshev linkage and Chebyshev's Lambda Mechanism. The linkage was first published in 1926.[2][3] A generalization of the Hoecken linkage is Wittgenstein's rod.
