As shown in fig. The crank is fitted to frame at pt 'O' .A slider is attack to other end of crank at pt 'B'. The slider fits inside Yoke. A Yoke is free to slide inside frame.
Working –
As the crank starts rotating about pt.'O' it causes the slider to slide inside Yoke. As the crank changes it's position it pulls or pushes the Yoke . Thus Rotary motion of crank is converted into Reciprocating motion of Yoke.
Application –
This mechanism is used to convert Rotary motion into reciprocating motion.
