Modelling and Simulation of a Straight Line Motion Mechanism for Industrial Application

This paper describes the modelling and simulation of a straight linear motion planar mechanism, commonly known as a Scott-Russell mechanism (SRM), for industrial application. The proposed mechanism is applied in an internal materials movement system using autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) for supporting logistics processes along the supply chain, aiming to replace the current manual operations. The requirements of the design are identified and the modelling phases of the mechanism are described. A compression spring and a linear solenoid are selected using kinematic and kinetic simulation.
