The scotch yoke is a mechanism that reciprocates motion and converts the horizontal motion of a bar that is constantly sliding into a rotational motion. This device is commonly used to control valve actuators that can be found in gas pipelines.

What is scotch yoke mechanism?

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.


What are the advantages of scotch yoke mechanism over slider crank mechanism?

Reduced friction, smoother operation, more power delivered. A big disadvantage is that the slot in the yoke wears rapidly due to sliding friction.

What are 4 tools you can use to change rotary motion to linear 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.
