  1. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    • 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 against a sliding piston in a cylinder can drive the rotation of the crank. There are two types of slider-cranks: in-line and offset. In-line: An in-line slider-crank has its slide… See more

    In-line kinematics

    The displacement of the end of the connecting rod is approximately proportional to the cosine of the angle of rotation of … See more

    Offset design

    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 :
    Its speed (the first derivative of its position) is represen… See more

    Inversions

    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-cran… See more

    • The Crank and Slider Mechanism

      A Crank and Slider mechanism / linkage, takes rotary motion and coverts it to linear motion. The diagram (below), shows how a piston pushes and pulls the connecting rod, which rotates the crank. This is typical of steam engines.
