Crank/Cam : Download and Make

A new essential mechanism to download and make!

Use this mechanism as a starting point for your own designs or as an exercise in pure mechanism.

As the handle turns the light blue centre push rod describes a smooth curve. Meanwhile, the dark blue slider moves up and down at a different speed driven by the cams in the box. This project is ideal as the starting point for a flying character where the arms/wings move at a different speed from the body.
