It is the reciprocating motion of the pistons that is changed into rotary motion by the cam axle.
Rotary means going around, like in a Wankel. Reciprocating means going back and forth. like in a ordinary piston engine.
It connects the piston to whatever the design calls for the piston to push or pull on. In a combustion engine, the piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, turning linear reciprocating motion into rotary motion.
A car
Encoders are sensors that generate digital signals in response to movement. Both shaft encoders, which respond to rotation, and linear encoders, which respond to motion in a line.
These four are rotary, oscillating, linear and reciprocating.
Linear Motion, reciprocating motion, rotary motion, and oscillating motion
Linear Motion, Reciprocating motion, Rotary motion, Oscillating motion
* Linear-travels in straight lines * Oscillating-back and forth around a point * Reciprocating-back and forth * Rotary-in a circle

A Linear Motion Is Not Just A Mechanical Motion But The Real Meaning To Linear Is Where Something Goes From One Place To Another And Doesn't ReturnE.G.From Point A To Point B(The other 3 motions are; Reciprocating (one place to another and back), Rotary (goes round) and Oscillating Motion (goes in a straight line but curves)
• Reciprocating engine • Rotary engine • Oscillating cylinder engine • Hand Pump • Scotch Yoke • Oldham's coupling • Elliptical Trammel
The Six Basic Types of Motion are as follows: Linear, Rotary, Intermittent, Reciprocating, Oscillation, and Irregular.
Scotch Yoke Mechanism is a mechanism in which the rotary motion is converted to reciprocating motion, with a single link or bar. The reciprocating system has to be constrained along the guide ways for linear motion.
Reciprocating - moving back and forth.Rotary - moving in a circle.
