Reciprocating Saw(Sawzall) By Jackie Ho Objectives: Introduce different types of motion Explain the mechanism used in the reciprocating saw
How do reciprocating saws cut? • Reciprocating saws convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion
Slider-Crank Mechanism • a four-bar linkage with 3 revolute joints and one prismatic joint Example: Engine
Other Mechanisms • Other ways convert rotary motion to reciprocating motion • Cardan Gear • Geared Mechanism
The slider-crank mechanism transforms the rotary motion of the motor to reciprocating motion of the blade
