QUICK RETURN CRANK MECHANISM
V. Ryan © 2002 - 2009
 
A quick return mechanism such as the one seen below is used where there is a need to convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion. As the disc rotates the black slide moves forwards and backwards. Many machines have this type of mechanism and in the school workshop the best example is the shaping machine.
