Slider Crank and Four-Bar Linkages

A slider crank mechanism converts circular motion to linear motion using a crank, link, and slider. For full rotation of the crank, the length of the link must be greater than the sum of the crank length and slider offset. It has three revolute joints and one prismatic joint. A four-bar linkage consists of four connected links that allow parallel or spherical movement. Bennett's linkage is a spatial four-bar linkage where the joint axes are angled in a specific way to allow movement. A crank is often used manually by applying reciprocating force from the arm or leg to turn an axle, as seen in bicycles or drills.

Introduction

A slider crank mechanism converts circular motion of the crank into


linear motion of the slider. In order for the crank to rotate fully the
condition L> R+E must be satisfied where R is the crank length, L is
the length of the link connecting crank and slider and E is the offset
of slider . A slider crank is a RRRP type of mechanism i.e. It has
three revolute joints and 1 prismatic joint. The total distance
covered by the slider between its two extreme positions is called the
path length. Kinematic inversion of slier crank mechanisms produce
ordinary a white work quick return mechanism of Machines Lab
Inversion: Different mechanisms obtained by fixing different links of
a kinematics chain are known as its inversions
A four-bar linkage, also called a four-bar, is the simplest movable
closed chain linkage. It consists of four bodies, called bars or links,
connected in a loop by four joints. Generally, the joints are
configured so the links move in parallel planes, and the assembly is
.called a planar four-bar linkage
If the linkage has four hinged joints with axes angled to intersect in
a single point, then the links move on concentric spheres and the
assembly is called a spherical four-bar linkage. Bennett's linkage is a
spatial four-bar linkage with hinged joints that have their axes
.angled in a particular way that makes the system movable

The term often refers to a human-powered crank which is used to


manually turn an axle, as in a bicycle crankset or a brace and
bit drill. In this case a person's arm or leg serves as the connecting
rod, applying reciprocating force to the crank. There is usually a bar
perpendicular to the other end of the arm, often with a freely
.rotatable handle or pedal attached
