[[File:Prismatic joint.svg|200px|thumb|right|Prismatic joint seen in 2-dimensional form. Only linear motion is possible. In contrast to a [[revolute joint]] the axis is prevented from rotating (this can be accomplished by giving the axis a ''prismatic'' shape which is not visible here).<!-- Bottom shows a sample piston cylinder cutout which utilizes a prismatic joint. << This comment appears not to be very helpfus. -->]]<br />

A '''prismatic joint''' is a one-[[Degrees of freedom (mechanics)|degree-of-freedom]] [[kinematic pair]]<ref name="norton">{{cite book|last=Norton|first=Robert L.|title=Design of Machinery|publisher=McGraw Hill Higher Education|location=Boston, MA|year=2008|edition=4th|pages=33|chapter=2|isbn=978-0-07-312158-1}}</ref> which [[Constraint (classical mechanics)|constrains]] the motion of two bodies to [[Sliding (motion)|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 pair'''.

A prismatic joint can be formed with a [[polygonal]] cross-section to resist rotation. Examples of this include the [[dovetail joint]] and [[linear bearing]]s.<br />
