SUMMARY

The optimal motor for controlling slider crank motion is a small electric motor capable of operating at a speed range of 200-400 RPM. Key factors include regulating the supply voltage to control speed and managing current or using a series resistor to regulate torque. The specific construction of the slider crank and motor mounting will influence performance. A small magnet attached to the slider enhances functionality.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of small electric motor operation
  • Knowledge of voltage and current regulation techniques
  • Familiarity with slider crank mechanisms
  • Basic principles of torque and rotational speed
NEXT STEPS
  • Research methods for regulating DC motor speed using voltage control
  • Explore techniques for torque regulation in small DC motors
  • Study the design and construction of slider crank mechanisms
  • Investigate the application of magnets in mechanical systems
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, hobbyists, and students involved in mechanical design, robotics, or any projects requiring precise control of slider crank motion.

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

Thank you

the motor should be controlled rotation between 200-400rpm , a small magnet will be attached at the end of slider

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.
