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 ...
Dimensioned drawing of a slider-crank (left) and its kinematic diagram (right). In mechanical engineering, a kinematic diagram or kinematic scheme (also called a joint map or skeleton diagram) illustrates the connectivity of links and joints of a mechanism or machine rather than the dimensions or shape of the parts. Often links are presented as ...
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 ...
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.
From the geometry shown in the diagram above, the following variables are defined: rod length (distance between piston pin and crank pin) crank radius (distance between crank center and crank pin, i.e. half stroke) crank angle (from cylinder bore centerline at TDC)

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]
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.
