    The document describes the Scotch yoke mechanism, which converts rotational motion to reciprocating linear motion. It consists of a rotating part connected to a sliding yoke with a slot that engages a pin on the rotating part. This causes the piston to move in a pure sine wave pattern based on the constant rotational speed. The Scotch yoke has fewer parts than a slider crank mechanism and provides a smoother operation with increased dwell time at top center for improved engine efficiency. Common applications include control valves and internal combustion engines. Experiments showed the extended dwell time does not benefit constant volume combustion cycles as much as stratified direct injection cycles.

    SCOTH YOLK MECHANISM THEORY It is an inversion of double slider crank mechanism The Scotch yoke is a mechanism for converting

    the linear motion of a slider into rotational motion or vice-versa. The piston or other reciprocating part is directly coupled to a sliding yoke with a slot that engages a pin on the rotating part. The shape of the motion of the piston is a pure sine wave over time given a constant rotational speed.fig 1.1 illustrates a simple scotch yolk mechanism Comparison of scotch yolk with Slider crank mechansim The advantages compared to a standard crankshaft and connecting rod setup are: Fewer moving parts. Smoother operation. Higher percentage of the time spent at top dead center (dwell) improving theoretical engine efficiency of constant volume combustion cycles, though actual gains have not been demonstrated. In an engine application, elimination of joint typically served by a wrist pin, and near elimination of piston skirt and cylinder scuffing, as side loading of piston due to sine of connecting rod angle is eliminated. Applications 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, stirling,and many hot air engines and steam engines. Refer to fig 1.2 Experiments have shown that extended dwell time will not work well with constant volume combustion (Otto, Bourke or similar) cycles.Gains might be more apparent using a stratified direct injection (diesel or similar) cycle to reduce heat losses.

    FIGURE 1.1

    EXPERIMENT This mechanism is used for converting rotary motion into a reciprocating motion. The inversion is obtained by fixing either the link 1 or link 3. In Fig, link 1 is fixed. In this mechanism, when the link 2 (which corresponds to crank) rotates about B as centre, the link 4 (which corresponds to a frame) reciprocates. The fixed link 1 guides the frame.

    X=R(1-COS( )

    where x is the distance of the slider from the zero reading on the scale or the distance of piston from the top dead center.

    X=RCOS( ).EQ A X=RCOS( )


    Here x is the distance of slider from the origion or it can be inter preted as the distance of scotch yolk from the crank shaft Takinng time derivative of eq A we get

    v=-Rsin( a=-Rcos( a=-X

    ). ).

    .EQ B
    .EQ C

    Taking time derivative of eq B we get Substituting the valuve of X from eq A into eq C we get WHEN is coonstant A is directly proprtional to X i.e acceleration is directky related to distance of scotch yolk slider from asis of rortation. This is the property of SHM.Thus motion of scotch yolk mechanism obeys simmple harmonic motion and is displacemnt time curve is a sine wave. R=3.5cm
