A cylindrical joint is a two- degrees-of-freedom kinematic pair
In classical mechanics, a kinematic pair is a connection between two physical objects that imposes constraints on their relative movement ( kinematics). German engineer Franz Reuleaux introduced the kinematic pair as a new approach to the study ...
used in mechanisms. Cylindrical joints constrain two bodies to a single axis while allowing them to rotate about and slide along that axis. This can be pictured by an unsecured axle mounted on a chassis, as it may freely rotate and translate. An example of this would be the rotating rods of a table football
Table football, also known as foosball, table soccer, futbolito in Mexico, Taca Taca in Chile and Metegol in Argentina is a table-top game that is loosely based on association football. The aim of the game is to move the ball into the opponen ...

In physics, the degrees of freedom (DOF) of a mechanical system is the number of independent parameters that define its configuration or state. It is important in the analysis of systems of bodies in mechanical engineering, structural engineer ...

* Prismatic joint
A prismatic joint is a one- degree-of-freedom kinematic pair which constrains the motion of two bodies to sliding along a common axis, without rotation; for this reason it is often called a slider (as in the slider-crank linkage) or a sliding ...
* Revolute joint
A revolute joint (also called pin joint or hinge joint) is a one- degree-of-freedom kinematic pair used frequently in mechanisms and machines. The joint constrains the motion of two bodies to pure rotation along a common axis. The joint doe ...
