longman3 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Slider & Crank Mechanisms. How would you obtain power and efficiency from a slider & crank mechanism. Is there a relationship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiot Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I would starty by explaining my question in a bit more detail. What you said may be OK in a classroom when you are in the middle of discussing the subject and have lots of context, but i am not sure what you are asking. Are you talking about steady running and load on the machine or accelerating a load from a standing start? Both the power and efficiency are affected by the compression available in the cylinder, if the slider is a piston. The speed of running and the mass of the piston will also be involved. Or are you just asking how to maximise efficiency - ie reduce friction etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
