Kinematic Analysis
Design mechanisms that move correctly, fit together, and perform their intended function.
A mechanism has to reach the right positions, at the right speeds, without parts colliding. Motion simulation proves the movement before anything is manufactured.
What we do
- Study the movement of mechanisms and assemblies
- Evaluate displacement, velocity, and acceleration through a motion cycle
- Analyse linkage geometry and joint movements
- Investigate motion of gears, shafts, levers, and connected mechanisms
- Assess motion path and range of travel of moving components
- Identify interference, collision, and clearance problems
- Support automotive suspension and steering kinematics where geometry is available
Engineering problems we help solve
- Does the mechanism achieve the required motion?
- Will moving parts collide during operation?
- Are there unwanted changes in motion ratio or travel?
- Does the mechanism reach an unintended position or limit?
- Are linkage dimensions suitable for the required movement?
- How do geometry changes affect the motion path?
Our approach
- 01Mechanism definitionCapture links, joints, drivers, and required motion.
- 02Motion modelBuild the kinematic model from CAD or drawings.
- 03SimulateRun the motion cycle and check clearances.
- 04RefineRecommend geometry changes to meet the requirement.
What you receive
- Motion simulation and animation
- Displacement, velocity, and acceleration plots
- Motion-path and clearance assessment
- Joint movement and mechanism geometry review
- Design modification recommendations

Kinematic analysis focuses on motion. Force, torque, and stress evaluation may need additional dynamic or structural analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Do you need a full CAD model?
A CAD assembly is ideal, but a mechanism can also be modelled from drawings and key dimensions.
Can you show the motion to our team?
Yes. We deliver motion animations alongside the plots so the whole team can see how the mechanism moves.
