    - Three kinematic links joined together forms a structure.

    - A mechanism is formed if one link in the kinematic chain is fixed. Every mechanism forms a kinematic chain but every kinematic chain is not a mechanism.

    - Kinematic chain is not a part of kinematic pair. Kinematic pair is formed when two links or elements are connected and have constrained motion. It forms a part of kinematic chain.

    - Kinematic link is defined as the resistant body which moves relative to another resistant body.

    - By fixing different links of a chain, different inversions of slider crank chain can be obtained.
