Couplers
Allows the proportional movement of one joint
with respect to another. Can link Rotational -
Rotational Rotational - Translational Translatio
nal - Translational Available for combinations
of Revolute, Cylindrical, and Translational
joints One joint can be linked to multiple
joints provided they do not conflict with motion
generators or other couplers Couplers are
primarily used for representing gears without
taking into account losses
