AN-308 FRAME 3 - Slider Crank

A slider-crank mechanism provides a simple way of converting rotary to linear motion.

1 disadvantage of this method is that the linear slider position is harder to specify.



The Slider-Crank FRAME transformation provides a single axis function that compensates for the mechanism allowing the output motion to be programmed and the input rotation to be calculated by the motion controller
