Crank Slider Mechanism
Slider-Crank Mechanism , arrangement of mechanical parts designed to convert straight-line motion to rotary motion , as in a reciprocating piston engine , or to convert rotary motion to straight-line motion, as in a reciprocating piston pump. The basic nature of the mechanism and the relative motion of the parts can best be described with the aid of the accompanying , in which the moving parts are lightly shaded. The darkly shaded part 1, the fixed frame or block of the pump or engine, contains a cylinder, depicted in cross section by its walls DE and FG, in which the piston. for the video of the above mechanism click here
