The follower arm, which is the link that connects the crank arm to the slider, connects to a pin in the center of sliding object. This pin is considered to be on the linear movement axis. Therefore, to be considered an in-line crank slider, the pivot point of the crank arm must be in-line with this pin point.
Steel arm that converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into a rotary motion of the driving wheels. The connection between piston and main rod is a crosshead, which slides on a horizontal bar behind the cylinder. [2] [5] [3]: 55 Piston rod Connects the piston to the cross-head. [2] [3]: 61 Piston
A crank is an arm attached at a right angle to a rotating shaft by which circular motion is imparted to or received from the shaft. When combined with a connecting rod, it can be used to convert circular motion into reciprocating motion, or vice versa. The arm may be a bent portion of the shaft, or a separate arm or disk attached to it.
The slider-crank linkage (RRRP) is one type of arrangement such that one link is a crank, which is then connected to a slider by a connecting rod. The inverted slider-crank is another type of arrangement such that there are two cranks with a slider acting as the coupler.
The disc influences the force of the arm, which makes up the frame of reference of the quick return mechanism. The frame continues to an attached rod, which is connected to the circular disc. Powered by a motor, the disc rotates and the arm follows in the same direction (linear and left-to-right, typically) but at a different speed.
The most common form of reversing gear uses a lever to engage (known as a Johnson bar in the United States) mounted parallel to the direction of travel on the driver’s side of the cab. It is controlled by a handle and sprung trigger at the top, and pivots at the bottom to pass between two notched sector plates.
A connecting rod crank has been found in the Celtic Oppida at Paule in Brittany, dated to 69BC [6] The predecessor to the connecting length is the mechanical linkage used by Roman-era watermills . An early example of this linkage has been found at the late 3rd century Hierapolis sawmill in Roman Asia (modern Turkey) and the 6th century saw ...
Steering system showing drag link. A drag link converts rotary motion from a crank arm, to a second bellcrank, usually in an automotive steering system.. While the origin of the term is not clear, it pre-dates the automobile, and is described as in use in 1849 as a means of rotating a Ducie cultivator being operated by cable by stationary steam engine (or between engines).
