An Automated Scotch Yoke Mechanism. Linear Velocity, American Journal of Biomedical Science and Engineering. Vol. 3, No. 1, 2017, pp. 8-15. Scotch Yoke Mechanism, Model Abstract This paper addressed the relationship between linear velocity of a scotch yoke mechanism during motion. Understudying the working principle of the scotch yoke mechanism as regards to how it converts circular motion into linear motion. Received: March 16, 2017 Experimental apparatus were set up which involves calibrating of the motor speed, Accepted: April 18, 2017 calibrating of the motor speed, calibrating the timing of the circuit from theoretical Published: June 3, 2017 knowledge which led to the scotch yoke mechanism model construction. Mono–stable multi–vibrator and DC motor speed controller circuits were introduced into the design. Linear velocity produced independently by Tachometer and Timer circuit experiment was determined.
