Objective:
To draw the displacement, velocity and acceleration diagram of a slider crank
mechanism.

Apparatus:
Slider crank apparatus

Theory:
Slider Crank Mechanism:
It is mainly used to convert rotary motion to a reciprocating motion or vice versa.

Mechanism:
A mechanism is a heart of a machine. It is the mechanical portion of the machine that
has the function of transferring motion and forces from a power source to an output.

Crank:
A part of an axle or shaft bent out at right angles, sometime in the form of disk, for
converting reciprocating motion to circular motion and vice versa.

Slider:

Part of mechanism that slides in tube, with connecting rod.

Connecting rod:
That connects slider and crank.

Working:
In this mechanism, slider is connected with crank via connecting rod. When crank
rotates, slider oscillates because it is connected with connecting road. Sole purpose is to
convert rotating motion in to reciprocating.

Application of Slider Crank Mechanism:

 Crank operated mechanical press
 I.C. Engines
 Steam Engines
 Slotting Attachment

1. Crank press:
Slider crank mechanism is used in the assembly of crank operated press. Crank
shaft is connected with ram by connecting rod. These components combine and form slider
crank mechanism.
 2. I.C. Engine:
In internal combustion engines slider (piston) is connected with crank shaft by
connecting rod. Using these components, we can form slider crank mechanism. Here, we have
a little bit difference in mechanism, in I.C engine crank is subjected under force by slider or
piston. But in case of Crank press slider of ram is subjected under force by crank.

3. Steam Engine:

In steam engine slider crank mechanism is used as it is used in I.C. Engines.

4. Slotting Attachment:
Slotting Attachment of milling machine also works on slider crank mechanism.

Terms used in the experiment:

1. Displacement:
The minimum distance covered the slider in the short interval of time is called
displacement.

2. Velocity:
The time rate of change of displacement is called velocity. It can be found from the
graph.

3. Acceleration:
The time rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. It can also be found from
the graph.

Diagram:

Procedure:
 Set the crank at zero degree. Record the displacement of link.
 Move the crank to required angle and record the displacement.
 Repeat step 1 & 2 for complete rotation.
 Tabulate your results in given tables.
 Calculate other necessary values.
