Cylindrical joint

A cylindrical joint is a two-degrees-of-freedom kinematic pair used in mechanisms.^[1] Cylindrical joints provide single-axis sliding function as well as a single axis rotation, providing a way for two rigid bodies to translate and rotate freely. This can be pictured by an unsecured axle mounted on a chassis, as it may freely rotate and translate.^[2]
