| 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.
