A slider-crank linkage is a four-link mechanism with three revolute joints and one prismatic (sliding) joint. The rotation of the crank drives the linear movement of the slider, or the expansion of gases … See more

The displacement of the end of the connecting rod is approximately proportional to the cosine of the angle of rotation of the crank, when it is measured from top dead center (TDC). So … See more

The position of an offset slider-crank is derived by a similar formula to that for the inline form; using the same letters as in the previous diagram and an offset of $${\displaystyle o}$$:
Its speed (the See more

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 … See more
