General Description

The Slotted Link Mechanism, "MBM1", is an example of a quick-return mechanism, capable of transforming circular motion into reciprocating motion. It is made of aluminum and consists of a rotary element (graduated disk), called crank, connected to a rigid bar, called connecting rod.

When rotating the crank, the connecting rod moves back and forward. The rotation motion of a crank or crankshaft causes a rectilinear reciprocating motion of a piston or plunger. It is a reversible system through which the connecting rod can be displaced by turning the crank and the other way round. If the connecting rod generates the input motion (as a piston in a car engine does), the crank is forced to rotate.

Exercises and guided practices

GUIDED PRACTICAL EXERCISES INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL

  1. Demonstration of the action of a simple crank and slotted link mechanism.
  2. Graphic determination of the relationship between the linear displacement of the sliding block and the angular displacement of the input crank.

MORE PRACTICAL EXERCISES TO BE DONE WITH THE UNIT

  1. More advanced exercises may include determining the velocity and acceleration of the sliding block through graphical differentiation and comparing the results with values obtained from velocity and acceleration diagrams.
