A slider-crank mechanism is used to provide the motion to the probes.

For this reason, the in-line slider-crank mechanism produces balanced motion.

With an offset slider-crank mechanism, an offset distance is introduced.

It is usually denoted as slider-crank mechanism.

When the stroke of a mechanism needs to be calculated, first identify the ground level for the specified slider-crank mechanism.

Alternating torques are generated by the slider-crank mechanism of the crankshaft, connecting rod, and piston.

A slider-crank mechanism is used in creating a chemical reaction on fuel with air (compression and ignition), and converting the energy into rotation (expansion).

The graphical method of designing an in-line slider-crank mechanism involves the usage of hand-drawn or computerized diagrams.

The slider-crank mechanism does not output a smooth torque even if the pressure is constant (e.g., at top dead centre there is no torque generated)

This can be exemplified by the slider-crank mechanism shown above, where each body has six degrees of freedom while most of the coordinates are dependent on the motion of the other bodies.

For this case, the crank arm will be referred to as L, and the follower link will be referred to as L. With all in-line slider-crank mechanisms, the stroke is twice the length of the crank arm.
