  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 ...

  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. 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 ...

  6. Prismatic joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prismatic_joint

    A prismatic joint is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic pair [1] 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 pair. They are often utilized in hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. [2]

  7. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    When the crank-pin drives the piston, as when coasting, the piston thrust is downwards. The position of maximum thrust is shown by the increased wear at the middle of the slide bars. [33] The tendency of the variable force on the upper slide is to lift the machine off its lead springs at half-stroke, and ease it down at the ends of stroke.

  9. 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.
