In very crude terms, rotary motion is round & round, reciprocating motion is back & forth.
A piston engine has both kinds of motion. The crankshaft displays rotary motion, the pistons display reciprocating motion. The camshaft displays rotary motion, the valves display reciprocating motion. Out on the suspension, the wheels display rotary motion and the shock absorbers display reciprocating motion. (One might say the shocks don't display "true" reciprocating motion because they're not CONSTANTLY in motion, but that one drives on better roads than they have here!)
What else can I help you with?
What is a device to change rotary motion into reciprocating motion?
The Cam
What converts reciprocating motion into rotary motion in an engine?
The crankshaft and connecting rod (or piston rod).
What is the difference between rotary and tropical rotary compressors?
Tropicalized Rotary means
What is reciprocating rotors?
A reciprocating engine is different than when using rotors. Rotors are used in a pistonless rotary engine, using one or more rotors and sometimes called rotary pistons.
What is double slider-crank mechanism?
Double slider crank mechanism is used where two slider works or the crank also work as a slider it uses to transform Reciprocating motion into rotary
What mechanical devices produce reciprocating motion from rotary motion?
It is the reciprocating motion of the pistons that is changed into rotary motion by the cam axle.
What is a device to change rotary motion into reciprocating motion?

What is difference between reciprocating compressor and a rotary compressor?
A rotary compressor has screws or gears that compress a gas. A reciprocating compressor has a piston in a cylinder compressing the gas.
Which mechanism transmits rotary motion to reciprocating motion?
Crank and slider
What is the name of mechanism that converts rotary motion to reciprocating motion is?
spiniards
What converts reciprocating motion into rotary motion in an engine?
The crankshaft and connecting rod (or piston rod).
Differentiate between a reciprocating mortion of a cylinder piston and a rotary motion?
Rotary means going around, like in a Wankel. Reciprocating means going back and forth. like in a ordinary piston engine.
What are connecting rods?
connecting rod is provided between crank and the piston,which converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion of the crank.
What are the 4 motions mechanisms?
The four types of motion mechanisms are rotary motion, linear motion, oscillating motion, and reciprocating motion. Rotary motion involves circular movement, linear motion involves movement in a straight line, oscillating motion involves back and forth movement, and reciprocating motion involves alternating movement in opposite directions.
What functions performed by crankshaft?
Crankshaft transfers a reciprocating motion into a rotary motion into transmission which makes vehicle move.
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 mechanial device produces reciprocting motiion form rotary motion?
Two types of system I can think of:A cam mounted on a rotating shaft can push against a rod. If the rod is held against the cam by a spring then the system is capable of reciprocating action.A crank: The crank attached to the pedals on a bicycle is an example, although it converts reciprocating motion to rotary motion.
