Abstract
In this paper, we consider a special kind of overconstrained 6R closed linkages which we call parallel 6R linkages. These are linkages with the property that they have three pairs of parallel joint-axes. We prove that there are three types of parallel 6R linkage. The first type is new, the other two also appear in a recent classification of linkages with angle equalities. We give constructions for each of the three types.

Just in the last moment, we learned that a special case of this linkage was discovered in A. Gfrerrer and P.J. Zsombor-Murray, Robotrac Mobile 6R Closed Chain, Proc. CSME Forum 2002, see also www.geometrie.tugraz.at/lehre/KinematikRobotik/CrankAxlePerspektive.gif.
