Rotary motion to Reciprocating motion


This mechanism is used to convert between rotary motion and reciprocating motion, it works either way. Notice how the speed of the piston changes. The piston starts from one end, and increases it's speed. It reaches maximum speed in the middle of it's travel then gradually slows down until it reaches the end of its travel.

Compare with geared reciprocating motion
