Abstract—Different methods are available for synthesis of the four-bar linkage, these includes synthesis for function, path, motion generation with finite precision points. Most mechanism synthesis is followed by using Freudenstein equation with optimized precision points using Chebyshev’s polynomials. In some cases the method provides possibilities to find simple solutions of the synthesis tasks. In this paper an approximate kinematic synthesis method is presented with general application to path generation, function generation and rigid-body guidance in planar multibody systems.
