About Crank & Slotted Lever Mechanism:

Crank and Slotted Lever Mechanism is a type of single slider crank chain mechanism inversion and four-bar mechanism. Crank and Slotted Lever Mechanism is one of the two types of Quick Return Mechanism (whereas; the Whitworth mechanism is another type of quick return mechanism). Crank and Slotted Lever Mechanism is also called Crank and Slotted Quick Return Mechanism.

As we know that the quick return mechanism is a type of mechanism, where the return stroke of the ram is quicker than the forward stroke. So, this type of mechanisms will be used to convert the rotary motion of the motors into reciprocating motion of the cutting tool for required action and operation.

Parts of Crank And Slotted Lever Mechanism:

The parts of the crank and slotted lever mechanism are limited. Its construction is simple and plays an important role too. The crank and slotted lever mechanism do consists of four links and pairs because it is a single slider crank chain. Three of the four pairs are turning pairs, and the remaining one is a sliding pair. A typical crank and slotted mechanism do consists of the following parts.

Ram or Lever: It is the sliding pair that moves in to and fro motion.

Crank: The Crank is the rotary part (turning pair) that will help the whole construction to convert the rotary motion of gear into the sliding motion of the ram.

Bull Gear: The bull gear is the rotary part (one of the turning pair) that is connected to the motor. (the source)

Slotted Bar: The slotted bar is one of the three turning pairs, where it is connected to the gear. It is the connector between gear and crank that helps to convert the rotary motion of the gear into sliding motion with the help of its to and fro motion.

Connecting Link: It is used to connect the slloted bar with the RAM or Lever.
