"Think of a simple single cylinder engine....crankshaft goes round & round,piston goes up & down,connecting rod keeps the two tied together...wa la!"
This type of linear motion is known as reciprocating motion, where the linear motion is a repetitive up and down, or back and forth action.
The linear motion velocity of a wheel and crank system is not uniform and conforms to a sinusodial curve, i.e. it is slowest at the 0º and 180º positions and fastest at the 90º position.
To get uniform linear motion from uniform rotary motion, you can use a threaded shaft and thread follower arrangement, or a rack and pinion.
btw, it's "voila!".
A rack and pinion, cam, crank, and screw can do that.
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.
work both independently and in connection with each other
That refers to something that moves around in a circle.
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.
Cam and follower mechanism: Converts rotary motion into linear motion by translating the motion of a cam into the linear motion of a follower. Rack and pinion system: Uses a rotating gear (pinion) to move a linear rack back and forth, converting the rotary motion into linear motion. Scotch yoke mechanism: Utilizes a circular motion to drive a sliding block in a straight line, converting rotary motion to linear motion. Lead screw mechanism: A rotating screw that moves a nut along its threads, translating rotational motion into linear motion.
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.
To turn a linear motion into a rotary motion.
A rack and pinion, cam, crank, and screw can do that.
Linear motion can be converted to rotary motion using mechanisms like gears, pulleys, or cams. For example, a rotating gear can engage with another gear to convert linear motion into rotary motion. This conversion allows for transferring power from one direction to another efficiently.

Crank and slider
A mechanism can affect motion by changing the magnitude of force applied, altering the direction of force, transmitting motion from one point to another, converting motion from one form to another (e.g., rotary to linear), and controlling the timing or sequence of motion.
Solenoid --- A solenoid produces linear motion. It's an electric motor that produces rotary motion.
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.
because you don't want to around in circles.
One example of converting rotary motion to linear motion is using a lead screw. When a rotary force is applied to the lead screw, it translates that rotational motion into linear motion along the axis of the screw. This conversion is commonly used in applications such as CNC machines and 3D printers.
