Abstract

A folded linkage (100) for coupling a crankshaft (106) and a piston (101) undergoing reciprocating linear motion along a longitudinal axis. The folded linkage (100) has a guide link (103) with a first end coupled to the piston (101). A
connecting rod (105) couples the distal end of the guide link (103) to the crankshaft (106) which rotates about an axis that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (120) of piston motion and located between the proximal end and the distal end of the guide link (103). A guide link guide assembly supports lateral loads on the guide link (103) at its distal end. The folded linkage (100) may be applied to couple the compression piston (311) and displacer piston (301) of a Stirling cycle machine to a common crankshaft (106).
