Crank Mechanism: The slider-crank mechanism is a simple four bar mechanism in which the rocker is replaced by a slider. Thus, the four links in the slider-crank mechanism are: Crank, Coupler/Connecting Rod, Slider and the Ground link.

Mar 4, 2009 · In this lab you will measure the linear acceleration of the piston of a lawn mower engine at various rotation rates of the drive shaft. The results exemplify a simple relation between speed and acceleration for kinematically restricted motions, which you will discover.

Mostly we will look at the slider-crank. A slider-crank mechanism is often used in engines to convert the linear thrust of pistons into the useful rotary motion of the drive-shaft. You will look at a lawn-mower engine and at an adjustable slider-crank demonstration.

The diagram represents a snapshot for a specific crank angle. a Ar is the radial (centripetal) acceleration of point A relative to point O with direction from A towards O resulting from angular velocity ω.
A Crank and Slider mechanism / linkage, takes rotary motion and coverts it to linear motion. The diagram (below), shows how a piston pushes and pulls the connecting rod, which rotates the crank. This is typical of steam engines.
This document describes an experiment to construct a displacement profile and analyze forces in a crank and slider mechanism. The objectives are to show displacement of the slider as the crank rotates and forces acting on the crank. Equipment includes a cam, crank and toggle kit.

Crank mechanism - crank effort and balancing. This tutorial concerning slider and crank mechanisms covers two aspects directly related to the operation of actual machines. We look firstly at output characteristics of a crankshaft and flywheel under torque load conditions using crank effort diagrams. We then consider balancing of inertial forces ...
