INTRODUCTION
The Scotch Yoke Mechanism is a mechanical device that converts
rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa. It consists of a
slotted yoke and a pin-mounted disc. As the disc rotates, the pin
slides within the yoke's slot, producing a linear movement. This
mechanism is commonly used in engines, pumps, and valve
actuators due to its simplicity and effectiveness.
MECHANISM
• A group of rigid bodies connected to each other by rigid kinematic
pairs (joints) to transmit force and motion. A machine consists of a
number of parts or bodies, the mechanism of the various parts or
bodies from which the machine is assembled. This is done by
making one of the parts fixed, and the relative motion of other
parts is determined with respect to the fixed part..
OBJECTIVES
• To demonstrate the action of a simple crank driven Scotch
Yoke mechanism.
• To determine graphically the relationship between the
linear displacement of the scotch yoke and the angular
displacement of the crank.
PARTS USED
• DC Motor(12V, 10kgf- • Cylinder
cm,500rpm) • Supporting Frame
• Disc • Joints & Screws
• Yoke • Arm
• Slotted part • Piston
WORKING PRINCIPLE
• The basic working principle of the scotch yoke mechanism is based on the
conversion of the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion or vice-
versa. See the animation below to understand the scotch yoke mechanism
experiment better.
• A sliding yoke with a slot that engages a pin on the rotating portion is
immediately connected to the piston or other reciprocating part. At a given
constant rotational speed, the piston's motion has the form of a pure sine
wave over time.
WORKING
It is a simple mechanism, the rotary motion of the pin convert into linear
motion. First, the ability provided to be connected in DC motor, when the
shaft to start in rotation moment, now the crank rotate the pin slider inside
of yoke part and also move in forward direction. When the Crank will be
rotate in clockwise direction and yoke will be displacement moment at
forward. The maximum displacement of the yoke depends upon the length
of crank
WORKING
The crank is completed the dextrorotary revolution at identical time the yoke slippery
fully emotional in forward. When this position takes more time to start return stroke,
after some time, the crank will be rotate in continuously it to be come back in initial
position of rotation. So the Yoke move in backward direction and comeback for initial
position. Therefore the crank has full revolution to be completed, at the same time yoke
will be complete the forward and backward movement of sliding. By means of the full
revolution of crank, the yoke will be sliding through equal of double length of crank.
The yoke displacement may be controlled by variable of crank length.
METHODOLOGY
• The method by which the project is done is explained in a detailed manner.
The design of the project consists of a Disc which is connected with a yoke
provided with a slot at the center, with the help of a pin. The alternative
mechanisms which results in the same purpose and then as the advantages of
Scotch Yoke mechanism outweighed all the other mechanisms, Scotch Yoke
mechanism is selected. The general layout of the configuration is prepared and
the methods of joining the individual components are selected. The detailed
drawing is generated and is assembled properly.
ADVANTAGES
• Smaller cylinder capacity and higher torque output.
• Easy to assemble, operate and build.
• Smoother operation due to fewer moving components.
• Engine efficiency is increased by a higher proportion of time spent at the
top dead center.
• It can be easily automated.
DISADVANTAGES
• Due to high contact pressures and moving friction, the yoke's slot wears out
quickly.
• A constant rotation speed is produced over time by the piston action, which is
a pure sine wave. Until that time, the motion is non-linear.
• Reduced blow-down time for two-stroke engines due to a lower proportion of
time spent at the bottom dead center.
• For limbs to reciprocate properly, guides are required.
APPLICATIONS
• A double hack jaw
• It can be used to perform various operations like cutting, slotting, etc. to cut metal bars.
• Water Pumps.
• Reciprocating pumps.
• Double-ended saws
• Scotch yoke actuators are mechanical devices used to automatically open and close valves or
dampers.
• It is used for gearless power transmission.
CONCLUSION
From the graph attained, we can determine graphically the relationship
between the linear displacement of the sliding block and angular
displacement of the input crank for a scotch yoke mechanism. This
setup is most commonly used in control valve actuators in high
pressure oil and gas pipelines. It has been used in various internal
combustion engines such as the Bourke engine, SyTech engine, and
many hot air engines and steam engines.
FUTURE SCOPE
• Modifications can be made to the setup for exhibiting various
applications like valve actuators, gas pipelines, compressors, water
pump etc. The machine can be more portable. Cost can also be reduced
to some extent by manufacturing it on a mass scale. With the help of
regulator with high speed range we can operate the machine at any
required speed
