The input angle (1) is set by turning the crank (2).

3 crank radius settings can be made by moving the
crank (2). The output stroke can be read off the
scale (3).

Kinematics
In contrast to a standard crank mechanism, a
slotted link crank mechanism generates a purely
harmonic stroke.
r = 25 , 37.5, 50 mm
L = 150 mm

r cos

The piston travel function can be derived from the

diagram:
x =r cos .
Allowance for the scale offset s = 145 mm and
the length L of the connecting rod results in the
formula:
s = s L x = s L r cos .
