The paper deals with singularity problem of the closed-loop planar mechanisms. This problem is approached in addition with the force transmission quality in mechanism and mechanism self-locking. Another characteristic of this approach consist in the fact that it is based on the structural group notion. Taking into account its frequent usage in practice in the paper were treated only RRR, RRT and RTR structural groups.
