Cranks, Rockers, Sliders
In this step, we connect these Function-Blocks (FB):
•A Linear-Motion FB
•A Motion-Dimension FB
•A Motion FB and a Gearing FB
These FBs, together, control the motions of Crank, Rocker and Sliders.

A Rocker is a Part that rotates around a Pin-Joint. Motion-values at the input-connector to a Motion-Dimension FB controls the position and motion of the Rocker.
|

|
To add a Rocker:
1.Add a Motion-Dimension FB to a Pin-Joint
2.The Base-Value = 40º
3.Add a Motion FB to the graphics-area.
4.Add a Linear-Motion FB to the graphics-area.
5.Drag wires to connect the Linear-Motion FB to the Motion FB to the Motion-Dimension FB. |

A Crank is a derived term for a Rocker that rotates at constant speed.
|

|
The Crank:
1.Add a Part, Pin-Joint and Motion-Dimension FB
2.Edit the Base-Value with the Motion-Dimension FB dialog
3.Add and connect a Linear-Motion FB and, optionally, a Gearing FB , to the input of the Motion-Dimension FB |

|
A Slider is a Part whose motion is controlled to move along a Slide-Joint.
|

|
To add a Slider:
1.Add a Motion-Dimension FB to a Slide-Joint
The initial position, here 110mm , is the 'Base-Value'
2.Add a Motion FB to the graphics-area
3.Add a Linear-Motion FB to the graphics-area
4.Connect the Linear-Motion FB to the Motion FB to the Motion-Dimension FB |
