| Description | 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. |
