Description

A Crank and Slider mechanism changes rotary to reciprocating motion or vice versa.

Features and Applications

In the car engine the reciprocating motion of the piston caused by exploding fuel is converted into rotary motion as the con-rod moves the crankshaft around.

An air compressor uses this principal in reverse - an electric motor turns the crankshaft and the piston moves up and down to compress the air.

Crank and Slider - the piston-rod is extended and works in a guide. The lower part of the connecting-rod is forked to permit the upper part of the piston-rod to pass between. So the piston is guided very well.

Crank and Slider in which the slider reciprocates and turns 90 deg. at the end of its stroke.
