The slider-crank mechanism is a common mechanical system that converts rotational motion into linear motion or vice versa. It consists of three main components: a rotating crank, a connecting rod, and a sliding block or piston.
The crank is attached to a shaft that rotates, causing the connecting rod to move back and forth in a straight line. The other end of the connecting rod is attached to the sliding block, which moves along a linear path. This mechanism is widely used in internal combustion engines, where the rotary motion of the crankshaft is converted into linear motion of the piston.
The slider-crank mechanism is essential for many machines and devices, from engines to pumps, compressors, and even toys. Understanding its principles and operation is crucial for mechanical engineers and designers.
