 Requirement of the project

We were supposed to pick up a real word mechanism and study it that how
we can perform specified analysis on it.
 Quick Return
Mechanism
• In mid 1800s, Quick return
mechanism were designed
• They were designed by
Joseph Whitworth
• He determined that the
force and geometry of the
rotating joint would affect
the force and motion of the
connected arm
 WHITWORTH QUICK RETURN
MECHANISM
• It converts rotatory motion to reciprocating
motion

• It is unlike crank and slider as forward

reciprocation is at slower rate than the return
stroke
 MECHANISM
• The mechanism consists of bull gear,
driver, cutter (ram), connecting rods

• Driver drives the Bull gear and as a

result of that cutter (ram) moves on
a slider surface

• Our desired work is achieved

ANIMATION
 Applications
• Used in many
mechanisms since
1900

• In modern world,
machines like shaper,
screw press and
mechanical actuators
use this mechanism
 ANALYSIS
220-degree forward stroke taking longer time while moving back quickly in 140 degree in a shorter period of time.
POSITION ANALYSIS
VELOCITY ANALYSIS
MATLAB CODE
MATLAB PLOT
 Connecting the theory
• Familiarization with the variety of mechanisms
in the real world
• Performing analysis as thought in our course
• This project made us to enhance our
engineering vision towards daily life mechanisms
• Familiarization to new MATLAB commands
