• Before jumping to Single Slider Crank Shaft and its inversion Lets
see some important definition that will help you easily understand
this topic. These definitions are :-
Links :-
INVERSION OF • 1) Kinematic Chain :-
SINGLE SLIDER A kinematic chain is an assembly of rigid bodies connected by
joints.
CRANK SHAFT 2) Links :-
Rigid bodies in kinematic chain are known as links.

3) Mechanism :-
When one of the links of kinematic chain is fixed, the chain is
known as Mechanism.

4) Inversion :- The process of fixing different links of a kinematic


chainone at a time to produce distinct mechanism is
called kinematic inversion.

• 5) Pair :-
A group of two links is called pair.

• Crank and slotted lever quick return mechanism
• Whitworth Quick return mechanism
• The single Slider Crank Chain is a four link mechanism
which is used for converting the circular rotation into
straight line motion . It is the modification of basic four bar
chain.
Single Slider Crank Shaft is kinematic chain with four links.
These links are :-
1) Piston Rod
1) Crank
3) Connecting Rod
4) Cylinder

• By fixing and turning different links in a kinematic chain


process, different types of inversion of single slider crank
chain can be obtained. These inversions are stated below :-
• 1) Pendulum Engine :-
•
In this mechanism, the inversion is
obtained by fixing the cylinder or
link 4. In this case the crank rotates,
the connecting rod oscillates around
a pin pivoted to the fixed link i.e the
cylinder and the piston attached to
the piston rod resiprocates. In this
way a linear straight line motion can
be obtained by rotating the shaft.​
2) Oscillatory Cylinder Engine :-

In this mechanism, the link 3 I.e. the connecting rod is


fixed which forms a turning pair. In this engine the end
of crank which rotates is connected with the piston using
a rod called piston rod. This rod is called piston rod as it
is welded with the piston otherwise it would have been
called connecting rod. Since the connecting rod is fixed,
the piston rod reciprocates when the crank shaft rotates.
In this mechanism, the cylinder also oscillates as
the connecting rod is fixed. So this mechanism is named
Oscillatory Cylinder Engine as the cylinder oscillates
around a fixed point.
3) Rotary Internal Combustion Engine :-

The Rotary Internal Combustion Engine usually consists of


seven cylinders in one plane . These cylinders are arranged
in a radial configuration. These cylinders rotates around a
fixed center. In this mechanism the link 2 i.e crank is fixed.
When the connecting rods rotates , the piston inside
different cylinders rotates.
4) Crank and slotted lever quick return mechanism

In this type of Inversion of Single Slider Crank Mechanism also one turning pair is fixed as shown in the below fig

• This mechanism is used mostly in shaping


machines and slotting machines and rotary internal
combustion engines. As you can see from the above
schematic representation of the crank and slotted
lever mechanism, there will be a slotted bar which is
fixed at one and at A. And also connected to the
crank by the slider at B. As you can see the other
end(P) of the slotted bar is connected to the ram of
the machine where the tool post holds the tool. As
the crank rotates, the slotted bar starts to oscillate
forward and backwards. The name quick returns
represent that when the slotted bar moves backward
direction, it will be quicker than the forward
movement. As it should travel the angle α while
backward movement instead of the forward
movement β. In the quick return mechanisms always
α < β.
• This mechanism transmits the rotary motion to the
linear motion
5) Whitworth Quick return mechanism

It is also used in the shaping and slotting machines as a quick


return mechanism. Following is the schematic representation of
the Whitworth Quick return mechanism.

In this mechanism also there will be a slotted bar that is fixed at


point D and connected to the crank by a slider and at the other
end connected to the connecting rod connected to the ram of the
tool post. Here also the backward movement is quicker than the
forward movement.

This mechanism also transmits the rotary motion to the linear


motion.
These are the Inversions of Single Slider Crank Chain Mechanism.
Conclusion
