    - Lathe spindle supported in the head stock or wheel turning over the axle is an example of turning or revolute pair. If two links are connected in such a way that one link is constrained to turn with respect to other link, then they form a revolute pair.

    - Motion between bolt and the fixed nut is an example of helical or screw pair. A screw pair is formed if one link turns about the other link by screw threads. Thus screw pairs have both rotational and sliding motion.

    - A ball with its bearing forms a rolling pair. When one link rolls over the other link then it is said to form a rolling pair.

    - A ball and socket is an example of spherical or globular pair. A spherical pair is a kinematic pair formed when one link forms a spherical shape and turns inside a fixed element.
