Crank and Connecting Rod Apparatus (EDC-TM-103)

This apparatus comprises of a sturdy wall mount plate on which a rotating crank is mounted along with a connecting rod which converts its motion to oscillatory motion. Angular motion of the crank can be measured with the help of attached protractor.

An input disc houses a crank pin, which can be fixed at various radii across the input disc face.

A linear scale is also attached with the slider to measure the stroke of the slider.
