ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION

The Scotch Burden Component, "MYE", planned by EDIBON, is an illustration of slider-wrench

system. The unit is a system for changing over the linear motion of a slider into rotational movement
or the other way around. It is made of aluminum and comprises of a rotational component, called
wrench, with a graduated disc. This element and a piston are connected to a vertical pivot. The
rotating motion of the wrench produces the alternative linear motion of the piston. It is a reversible
framework, if the piston produces the input motion (for instance, a cylinder in a motor), the wrench
turns. The input angle is set ready on ball bearing mounted wrench plate, and it is perused on a point
estimating scale. A millimeter scale is fitted to quantify the straight movement of the interfacing pole
[1][2]. The scotch yoke mechanism is used in large number of applications such as reciprocating
pumps, water pumps, used for gearless power transmission, robotics etc.

Working principle of the scotch yoke mechanism

As per the earlier talks, since the scotch burden instrument changes over rotational movement into
a slider or linear motion, there's a basic working rule behind it. At first, control is provided to the
DC engine, which is associated to the shaft, assist the shaft starts to pivot, and in this way,
the wrench begins sliding the slider stick interior the burden,
and consequently the component begins. When the slider completes one full cycle it is said to have
completed one stroke. Here the relocation of the slider stick depends on the wrench. In other words,
The clockwise transformation of the wrench is completed at the same time that the Burden sliding
is totally moved forward. When this position takes longer to return stork. After a few time has
passed, the wrench will proceed to turn to return to its unique position of the revolution. As a result,
the Burden moves in reverse and returns to its unique position. As a result,
the wrench must total one full transformation. At the same time, the Burden will total the forward
and in reverse Sliding development. With a full insurgency of the wrench, the Burden will slide
through an rise to length of the wrench.
PROCEDURE

1.The conversion of circular motion to reciprocal motion and vice-versa was to be determined by

rotating the wheel on the scotch yoke mechanism by 10° each interval from 0° until a complete

revolution. The yoke was rotated with 10° increments to allow for as much accuracy as possible.

2. Observation of the behaviour of the mechanism as the wheel is rotated was recorded.

3. The process is repeated for every 10° interval until full complete revolution.
