 ELLIPTICAL TRAMMEL MECHANISM: A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Introduction:
The elliptical trammel mechanism is a fascinating engineering concept that finds applications in various
fields, including mechanical engineering, robotics, and even art. It is a mechanism used to generate elliptical
motion by combining the principles of linkages and kinematics. This report provides a concise overview of
the elliptical trammel mechanism, including its working principle, applications, advantages, and limitations.

Working Principle:
The elliptical trammel mechanism consists of two perpendicular rotating shafts, one carrying a fixed pointer
and the other supporting a sliding carriage. The fixed pointer traces a circular path, while the sliding carriage
moves along the length of the other shaft. By adjusting the relative positions and lengths of these shafts, the
motion of the sliding carriage can be manipulated to generate an elliptical path.

Components:
Fixed Pointer: A stationary pointer affixed to one rotating shaft.
Sliding Carriage: A movable carriage attached to the second rotating shaft.
Connecting Rods: Linkages connecting the fixed pointer and the sliding carriage.
Rotating Shafts: Two perpendicular shafts that support the fixed pointer and the sliding carriage.
