Establishes the graphical symbols for machine elements for kinematic diagrams for use in all branches of industry. Definitions of key words used in this field are also given. The symbols are given in sections including those for motion of links, links and connections of their components, kinematic pairs, linkages and links, friction and gear mechanisms, cam mechanisms, Geneva and ratchet mechanisms, couplings and brakes, and miscellaneous mechanisms and their components. This Standard is identical with ISO 3952-1-1981, ISO 3952-2-1981, ISO 3952-3-1979 and ISO 3952-4-1984.
