Slider crank mechanism

The slider-crank mechanism is a mechanism consisting of two interconnected elements: a slider moving along a straight path and a crank rotating around a fixed point. The slider is typically moved back and forth, while the crank rotates around its point of connection. This mechanism is widely used in various mechanical devices, such as piston engines, drive transmission mechanisms, pumps, and production machinery. It is a fundamental component in many mechanical designs, providing the transformation of rotary motion into reciprocating motion and vice versa.
