  2. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    Slider-crank chain inversion arises when the connecting rod, or coupler, of a slider-crank linkage becomes the ground link, so the slider is connected directly to the crank. This inverted slider-crank is the form of a slider-crank linkage that is often used to actuate a hinged joint in construction equipment like a crane or backhoe, as well as ...

  3. Crank (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crank_(mechanism)

    Hand crank for a winch on a sailboat - commonly referred to as a winch handle. A crank is an arm attached at a right angle to a rotating shaft by which circular motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. When combined with a connecting rod, it can be used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or vice versa. The arm may be ...

  4. Four-bar linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-bar_linkage

    An in-line slider-crank has its slider positioned so the line of travel of the hinged joint of the slider passes through the base joint of the crank. This creates a symmetric slider movement back and forth as the crank rotates. Offset If the line of travel of the hinged joint of the slider does not pass through the base pivot of the crank, the ...

  5. Quick return mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_return_mechanism

    A quick-return mechanism is a subclass of a slider-crank linkage, with an offset crank. Quick return is a common feature of tools in which the action is performed in only one direction of the stroke, such as shapers and powered saws , because it allows less time to be spent on returning the tool to its initial position.

    the crank-rocker, in which the input crank fully rotates and the output link rocks back and forth; the slider-crank, in which the input crank rotates and the output slide moves back and forth; drag-link mechanisms, in which the input crank fully rotates and drags the output crank in a fully rotational movement.

  8. Scotch yoke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotch_yoke

    The Scotch yoke (also known as slotted link mechanism [1]) is a reciprocating motion mechanism, converting the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion, or vice versa. The piston or other reciprocating part is directly coupled to a sliding yoke with a slot that engages a pin on the rotating part.

  9. Crosshead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosshead

    A crosshead as part of a reciprocating piston and slider-crank linkage mechanism. Cylindrical trunk guide Hudswell Clarke Nunlow; crosshead and two slide bars. In mechanical engineering, a crosshead [1] is a mechanical joint used as part of the slider-crank linkages of long stroke reciprocating engines (either internal combustion or steam) and reciprocating compressors [2] to eliminate ...
