Scotch yoke vs slider-crank oscillation mechanism.


Scotch yoke vs slider-crank oscillation mechanism.

Slider crank and scotch yoke mechanisms are used for converting rotary motion to linear motion. Rotary motion input is applied at the crank wheel shaft and the output linear motion is available at the slider.

The Scotch yoke is a reciprocating motion mechanism, converting the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion or vice-versa. The piston or other reciprocating part is directly coupled to a sliding yoke with a slot that engages a pin on the rotating part. The shape of the motion of the piston is a pure sine wave over time given a constant rotational speed.


This mechanism is used for converting rotary motion into a reciprocating motion. The inversion is obtained by fixing either the link 1 or link 3. In Fig, link 1 is fixed. In this mechanism, when the link 2 (which corresponds to crank) rotates about B as centre, the link 4 (which corresponds to a frame) reciprocates. The fixed link 1 guides the frame.
