Analytical Synthesis of Slider-crank Function Generator with Fifth-Order Approximation
LIAW Deng-gui · Bulletin of JSME · 1975
The design equations of an offset slider-crank mechanism to satisfy the first four precision derivatives of an ideal function are presented. The development of the equations is based upon the geometrical relationship of the "conjugate" slider-crank mechanism and the return circle of its coupler relative to the fixed link; the task of synthesis is thereby greatly facilitated. The derived equations take simple forms; and the numerical calculations can be performed readily and accurately with the aid of a desk calculator.
