| CAD: 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.
