In theory of machines and kinematic pairs:
A Spherical pair consists of two kinematic links where one link in the form of a sphere/ball is constrained to rotate/swivel in three-dimensional space inside a fixed spherical socket of another link (e.g., ball-and-socket joint, car mirror attachment).
A Turning pair allows only rotational motion about a fixed axis (e.g., shaft in bearing).
A Rolling pair allows only rolling motion (e.g., ball and roller bearings).
A Screw pair allows rotation accompanied by translation along screw threads.
मशीनों के सिद्धांत (Theory of Machines) में, जब एक गोलाकार बॉल दूसरे अवतल सॉकेट के अंदर सभी दिशाओं में घूमती है, तो इसे गोलीय युग्म (Spherical pair) कहा जाता है (जैसे बॉल और सॉकेट जोड़)।
