Crank Mechanism

INTRODUCTION

The Crank Mechanism “MBI”, enables the students to simulate the operation of a classical piston mechanism easily. It represents the piston mechanism of an automobile perfectly; cylinder and crankshaft of a vehicle.
The Crank Mechanism is used in the automobile industry, shipbuilding industry, etc.

EXERCISES AND PRACTICAL POSSIBILITIES

1. Determination of the crank effort.
2. Balancing of the crankshaft.
3. Measurement of the piston displacement.
4. Experimental relationship between piston displacement and crank angle.
5. Theoretical relationship between piston displacement and crank angle.
6. Comparison of the piston displacement value theoretically and experimentally.
7. Experimental relationship between turning moment and crankshaft angle.
8. Theoretical relationship between turning moment and crankshaft angle.
