Slider Crank mechanisms

The mechanism that has a very wide usage in machine design

is the slider-crank mechanism. It is mainly used to convert rotary
motion to a reciprocating motion or vice versa. Below a she slider-
crank mechanism is shown and the parameters that are used to define
the angles and the link lengths are given.
As in the four-bar mechanism, the extended and folded dead
centre positions are when the crank and the coupler are
collinear(coupler link is commonly called connecting rod in slider-
crank mechanisms).
Full rotation of the crank is possible if the eccentricity, c, is less
than the difference between the connecting rod and the crank lengths
and the crank length is less than the connecting rod length (e.g. c <
(a3-a2) and a3>a2).
 The conventional internal combustion engine employs a piston
arrangement in which the piston becomes the slider of the slider-
crank mechanism. Radial engines for aircraft employ a single master
connecting rod to reduce the length of the crankshaft.
The master rod, which is connected to the wrist pin in a piston,
is part of a conventional slider-crank mechanism. The other pistons
are joined by their connecting rods to pins on the master connecting
rod.
To convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion, the slider
crank is part of a wide range of machines, typically pumps and
compressors.
Another use of the slider crank is in toggle mechanisms, also
called knuckle joints. The driving force is applied at the crankpin so
that, at TDC, a much larger force is developed at the slider. See also
Four-bar linkage.
