This study addresses design of a drag link four-bar linkage mechanism with variable velocity. The design is based on a drag link mechanism with fixed bar where N pieces of pneumatic cylinder are in series connection as well as automatic electric control method that allows the length of fixed link to vary with stepping. A computer program is developed to aid the design of drag link mechanism and simulates afterwards mechanism motions to obtain the length of links and curve of motion characteristics. A design example was proposed accordingly to attest that the flexible design proposed hereby is feasible in industrial applications.
