Abstract We consider cyclic mechanisms with one degree of freedom driven by engines of various types such as alternating and direct current motors, internal combustion engines, etc. We pose the problem of modifying the mechanism structure by joining additional links or by varying the parameters or operation mode of the original mechanism so as to minimize the thermal losses in the driving motor. The solution is based on the minimization of the functional determining the irreversible power losses.

We show that, for the engines considered, all cyclic mechanisms with one degree of freedom should satisfy a fundamental condition ensuring the minimum of losses. We consider two examples, one of which corresponds to actually existing mechanisms.
Keywords cyclic mechanism, energy loss, Euler equations, Lagrange multiplier, energy efficiency
