For slider crank motion, a motor capable of controlled rotation between 200-400 RPM is recommended. The required force and work done by the slider crank depend on the specific application and load conditions. The motor's speed directly influences the efficiency and effectiveness of the slider's movement. A small magnet attached to the end of the slider can enhance functionality, possibly for sensing or actuation purposes. Selecting the right motor is crucial for optimal performance in slider crank applications.

which motor is reasonable for slider crank motion , where the motion of slider should be control with motor speed.

Thank you

How fast must it turn?
What force is required?
What work will the slider crank do?

There are too many possibilities. Almost any small electric motor will do the job. How you construct the slider crank, and mount the motor, will depend on your choice.

To regulate the speed of a small DC motor, you should regulate the supply voltage.

To regulate the torque of a small DC motor, you should regulate the current, or use a series resistor.
 
My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
