A linkage system which offers high rigidity and good assemblability and
producibility, and enables parts such as rotary transmission components
and actuators to be readily installed. A linkage system includes an input
member disposed on an input side, an output member disposed on an output
side, and three or more link mechanisms, each link mechanism consisting
of end links rotatably coupled to the input member and the output member,
respectively, a center link rotatably coupled to the end links on the
input side and the output side, and four revolute joints by which the end
links are rotatably coupled to the input and output members, and to the
center link. The link mechanism being geometrically identical with
respect to a center cross-sectional plane relative on the input and
output sides. Each of the revolute joints of the link mechanism includes
bearings that support at both ends of the revolute joint.
