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. There is close relationship between the angular speed and linear velocity produced from the Tachometer experiment and the timer circuit experiment, which helps to have a model for demonstrating the motion conversion characteristics of the scotch yoke mechanism. These findings demonstrated the motion characteristics of the scotch yoke mechanism; also the model will be useful in teaching and research purposes. 1. Introduction The Scotch Yoke Mechanism is a fairly simple mechanism for converting the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion or vice-versa. The parts of this device include a sliding bar, a yoke on the bar with a slot cut out, and a smaller bar connected to the yoke and affixed by a pin through the yoke slot to the sliding bar. As the bar slides back and forth, or reciprocates, the smaller bar is forced to slide up and down in the yoke slot, creating a rotational movement. The converse of this motion relationship is also true; as the pin initiates a rotational movement, the slider correspondingly generates a reciprocal or back and forth movement. In operation, the reciprocating part is directly coupled to the sliding bar or yoke with a slot that engages the pin on the rotating part. The motion of the Scotch Yoke Mechanism is such that pure simple harmonic motion is produced by the mechanism when driven by an eccentric or crank. Because velocity and acceleration are derivatives of the displacement time curve these graphs also have a perfect wave form. Scotch Yoke Mechanism is most commonly used in control valve actuators in high- pressure oil and gas pipelines. Although not a common metalworking machine nowadays, crude shapers also use Scotch yokes. It has been used in various internal American Journal of Biomedical Science and Engineering 2017; 3(1): 8-14 9 combustion engines, such as the Bourke engine, SyTech experiments remains a challenge, a synthetic, controlled study engine, and the Waissi engine.

Insects fly by oscillating (plunging) and rotating (pitching) their wings through large angles, while sweeping them forwards and backwards. During this motion the wing tip approximately traces a ‘figure-of eight’ or a ‘banana’ and the wing changes the angle of attack (pitching) significantly.

DOI: 10.1243/0954406JMES260 Abstract: Recent study has shown that the application of a Scotch Yoke crank mechanism to a reciprocating internal combustion engine reduces the engine’s size and weight and generates sinusoidal piston motion that allows for complete balance of the engine. This paper describes detailed investigation of the performance of a linear bearing assembly, which is one of the key components of the Scotch Yoke mechanism. The investigation starts by solving Reynolds equation for the Scotch Yoke linear bearing. The two-dimensional lubricant flow is numerically simulated and the calculated results are compared with experimental results from a linear bearing test rig. The performance characteristics and a design sensitivity analysis of the bearing are presented. Dynamic testing and analysis of an instrumented linear bearing on a test rig are used to validate the numerical simulation model. The oil supply and lubrication mechanism in the linear bearing are analysed and described in detail. This work aims to provide new insights into Scotch Yoke linear bearing design. In addition, strategies for optimization of the linear bearing are discussed.

    ENRESO WORLD - ILab Different Car Engine Types Istas René Graduated in Automotive Technologies 1-1-2019 1 4 - STROKE ENGINE A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed: 1. Intake: Also known as induction or suction. This stroke of the piston begins at top dead center (T.D.C.) and ends at bottom dead center (B.D.C.). In this stroke the intake valve must be in the open position while the piston pulls an air-fuel mixture into the cylinder by producing vacuum pressure into the cylinder through its downward motion. The piston is moving down as air is being sucked in by the downward motion against the piston. 2. Compression: This stroke begins at B.D.C, or just at the end of the suction stroke, and ends at T.D.C. In this stroke the piston compresses the air-fuel mixture in preparation for ignition during the power stroke (below). Both the intake and exhaust valves are closed during this stage. 3. Combustion: Also known as power or ignition. This is the start of the second revolution of the four stroke cycle. At this point the crankshaft has completed a full 360 degree revolution. While the piston is at T.D.C. (the end of the compression stroke) the compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug (in a gasoline engine) or by heat generated by high compression (diesel engines), forcefully returning the piston to B.D.C.

A Shaper is a machine used for shaping (metal removal) operation on the work piece. A usual shaper machine operates by a principle of whitsworth quick return mechanism where materials are processed at one end and other end remains idle. But in a dual side shaper machine, materials are processed at both ends which become advantageous when compared to usual shaper. Nowadays, Industries try to achieve high production rate at a minimal amount of time, cost etc. Usage of dual side shaper machine eliminates most disadvantages faced by a single side shaper. The main advantage of dual side shaper is that it decreases time as well as production cost. Thereby it increases productivity. Another advantage is that number of moving parts is less when compared to usual machine. This model uses a single power source which can be connected to gears for increasing or decreasing the speed of cut. KEYWORDS: Construction, Working, Detailed view, Shaper Calculations, Analysis.

  • Design and Optimization of the Scavenging System of a Multi-Cylinder Two-Stroke Scotch-Yoke Engine
    DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE SCAVENGING SYSTEM OF A MULTI-CYLINDER TWO-STROKE SCOTCH-YOKE ENGINE NG TEE NENG UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE SCAVENGING SYSTEM OF A MULTI-CYLINDER TWO-STROKE SCOTCH-YOKE ENGINE NG TEE NENG A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Master of Engineering (Mechanical) Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Universiti Teknologi Malaysia APRIL 2006 v ABSTRACT A two-stroke engine complete with a scavenging system, operating with external pumping mechanism is being developed. The engine comprises of two pair of combustion chambers and a pair of piston pumps that are integrated onto the Scotch-Yoke crank mechanism. The Schnurle type loop scavenging arrangement was selected for the scavenging arrangement for the engine port design. The pump was to be driven by the engine’s pistons linkages. The significant advantages of this opposed piston-driven pump concept is the double action of air pumping at every 180° interval of crankshaft revolution. In addition, extensive work using Computational Fluid Dynamic code simulation tools were applied throughout the project to ensure that the scavenging port geometry is optimized. Also developed was a scavenging test rig specifically to verify the simulation results. The unfired tracer gas sampling method was developed for the scavenging measurement purposes. The experimental testing was carried out successfully with the use of instrumentations such as Dewetron High Speed Data Acquisition and crank encoder. Both the simulation results and experimental results showed good scavenging characteristic, where the scavenging efficiency is closed to the perfect mixing scavenging model.

In this article, authors focus on the design and construction of a real prototype of an engine mechanism with rotating cylinders and its using mainly in piston combustion engines. It is assumed, that the normal force of a piston will be completely eliminated, because the swing angle of a connecting rod will equal to zero during the whole working cycle, since the connecting arm of the piston moves just the cylinder axis. It will by allowed by the conceptual design of the mechanism presented in this article. As rotating blocks of cylinders concurrently act as a flywheel, it is proposed, that in this way there is possible to save the mass of additional flywheels. Moreover, liquid cooling system is not necessary, because the rotating cylinders sufficiently transfer heat to ambient air. In addition, the output of torque will be reached without necessity of gear transmission, which results to decreasing of needs of mechanism lubrication. Other advance of the designed mechanism are two outputs. The first output is low-speed and it goes out from rotating cylinders, i. e. from the slider- crank mechanism with revolutions n1. The other output is high-speed, from the crankshaft with revolutions n2. Because of more favourable properties of the mechanism, authors have decided to create a real device to confirm all mentioned advantages of the mechanism by the suitable way.

When a slider- crank mechanism creates linear piston motion, a side force occurs between the cylinder sides and the piston head. The side force can be reduced using a Scotch yoke mechanism. However a Scotch yoke mechanism requires two parallel opposed sliders, therefore it is difficult to keep a precision and structure complicated each machine elements. This side force causes various problems, so authors have proposed an orthogonal double-slider joint mechanism to reduce the side force acting on the piston. We build three types of water-pump to investigate efficiency differences among the driving mechanism types, namely, a slider-crank mechanism with a crosshead, a Scotch yoke mechanism, and the orthogonal double-slider joint mechanism. We measure the input torque needed to drive a water-pump under same conditions for stroke, cylinder cross-section, and crank rotational speed. To investigate the influence of sliding frictional resistance acting on the crosshead, we compare results between the cases of driving by the slider-crank mechanism with a crosshead and the orthogonal double-slider joint mechanism.

In most of the industries, viscous fluids are sucked by using centrifugal pumps but it gives very less volumetric efficiency and leads to consumption of more power. Now we design a pump in reciprocating type by using double acting cylinders attached at both sides and it is connected to drive by scotch yoke mechanism. The scotch yoke mechanism gets the drive from the motor. The motor is connected to the shaft using belt drive. In this pump, the volumetric efficiency is high and the output will be continuous (positive displacement). Key words: scotch yoke mechanism, dual side double acting pump, and high viscous fluids.
