Crank-slider mechanism is a type of mechanical linkage that converts rotational motion into linear motion, or vice versa. It is commonly used in internal combustion engines, reciprocating pumps, and other machinery that requires linear motion. The mechanism consists of a crank, a connecting rod, and a slider. The crank is a rotating shaft with an eccentric offset, which causes the connecting rod to move linearly as it rotates. The connecting rod is connected to the slider, which moves linearly in response to the motion of the connecting rod. The mechanism is simple and reliable, but it also has some limitations, such as the presence of reciprocating forces and the need for lubrication to reduce friction. Despite these limitations, the crank-slider mechanism remains a fundamental component in many mechanical systems.
