The Sarrus linkage, invented in 1853 by Pierre Frédéric Sarrus,[1] is a mechanical linkage to convert a limited circular motion to a linear motion or vice versa[2] without reference guideways. It is a spatial six-bar linkage (6R) with two groups of three parallel adjacent joint-axes.[3]
Although Charles-Nicolas Peaucellier was widely recognized for being the first to invent such a straight-line mechanism, the Sarrus linkage had been invented earlier; however, it was largely unnoticed for a time.[4]
