7.C] With a suitable example explain the application of linear motion mechanism
Answer:-
Linear Motion Mechanism:
- The swing-arm quick-return mechanism is one of the applications in the Linear motion mechanism.
- It is drawn as a Figure, that converts rotary motion into nonuniform reciprocating motion.
- As drive link AB rotates 360° around pin A, it causes the slider at B to reciprocate up and down along link CD.
- This, in turn, causes CD to oscillate left and right, describing an arc.
- Link DE, pinned to D with a rolling slider pinned at E, moves slowly to the right before being returned rapidly to the left.
