- Model O-5 is similar to Models O-2 and O-4 in the Voigt Catalog. Reuleaux calls these examples of combined kinematic chains. In this model, there are five links. The fixed base holds two revolute joints. The sliding guide is constrained to the base by one of the revolute joints and constrained to the rod that is fixed to the larger gear. The pinion gear is affixed to another link that rotates on a revolute joint at the base. Finally, there is a link connecting the two gear wheels by two revolute joints. The model is designed so that it can be removed from its base and the large gear fixed as a sun gear and the pinion roll as a planet gear. The pinion has 26 teeth and the larger gear as 52 teeth.

The 220 models in Cornell University’s Reuleaux Collection were built in the late 19th century to demonstrate the elements of machine motion, as theorized by the German engineer Franz Reuleaux. The University acquired the models in 1882 for use in teaching and research. The Reuleaux models are classified according to the alphanumeric schema employed in the catalog of the manufacturer, Gustav Voigt. The letter in a model's ID (e.g., B14 or S35) refers to a class of mechanism; the number is a specific instance of the class. This classification scheme is a simplified version of the taxonomy of machine elements elaborated in Reuleaux's work. - Repository:
