P4.3: The crank-slider offset mechanism shown in Figure P4.3 has the link lengths: Las - 4", Lap = 24", Loc=0.19". The location of COM is as follows: LAG = 2.330"; LEG2 = 12"; LDG: = 0". In the initial position (home position), 0.19" Tact HO CO 1" o 28 the crank AB makes 0° with the horizontal, where the coordinates of contact point Care (28", 1"). The crank 1 rotates counterclockwise with the angu- lar displacement 0 = 2t (rad),...
The planar four-bar mechanism shown below has a driving crank O1A that turns about O1 at a constant rate of (theta- dot) θ. = 10 rad/s CCW. The links O1A and O2B are balanced and have a mass moments of inertia about their center of mass of Iz = 0.02 kgm2 . The link ABC has a center of mass located at point G, has a mass of m = 2 kg, and has a mass moment of inertia of...
Figure 8 (c) Figure 9 illustrates a four-bar linkage mechanism that is used to operate a washing system on a vegetable harvesting line. The mechanism consists of a crank OA which moves in a limited arc and an L-shaped connecting rod AB which tilts a large bucket of water DB onto the vegetables. The crank rotates with a constant angular velocity wOA = 4x rad/s. For the instant shown with the crank vertical and the angle 8 = 30° determine...
The crossed four-bar linkage has a constant crank angular velocity 2=10 rad/s ccw. The dimensions and the results of the kinematic analysis are given below for the position shown. (a) Draw the free-body diagrams of all the links of the mechanism, (b) Find the reaction forces at all the pins and the driving torque at link 2. The gravity centers of link 2 and link 4 are located at O2 and O4 respectively. y A O2A-6 in, O204-18 in, AB-18...
