SLIDER CRANK MECHANISM

 

 

OVERVIEW

 

A slider-crank mechanism is a device that converts rotational movement into linear movement or vice versa.

 

COMPONENTS

 

The crank component is a structural member with one end that rotates around a point.  This can be implemented by attaching a bar to a point on a gear using a shoulder screw.

 

The slider component is a linear motion slider that connects to the bar using a shoulder screw.

 

 

TASK

 

Build your own version of a slider-crank mechanism.  Make sure you research ideas before starting.
