| Movie: NTU-L12 Constant-speed Straight-line Reciprocating Mechanism |
This mechanism comprises of two spur gears, a rack
and pinion, a slider, and a frame. It is designated to generate a
constant-speed reciprocating straight line motion. When the spur gear
pair is activated by the input crank, the pinion which is attached
to one of the spur gears will push the rack and run around its top
and bottom. After, since the rack is attached to the slider, the slider
will be pushed with a straight line motion based on the force from
the pinion. Because the pinion runs around the top and bottom of the
rack, the motion direction of the slider will be guided back and forth,
which constitutes a reciprocating motion.
Besides, if the crank is driven by a constant speed, the output speed
of the slider will also be constant.
