Scott Russell Mechanism

I am new to 3DEXPERIENCE software. It is fun to explore this software and learn new things as well as addition in our software skill. To learn about this I refere the learning materials videos on EDU Space in this platform.

To practice my learning I made scott russell mechanism

What is Scott Russel Linkage?

Scott Russell linkage is a linkage which translates linear motion through a right angle. 

The linkage is composed of two links. One link is double the size of the other, and is connected to the smaller link by its midpoint.

One of the ends is then connected to something that can generate linear motion, such as a rolling or sliding connection, or another straight line mechanism

Some simple mechanisms are designed such that they can produce approximate straight lines for short range of motion. These approximate straight line mechanisms have important applications in machine design. These mechanisms were used extensively in classical machines such as steam engines. Perfect straight line can also be generated using linkage mechanism but those are relatively complex mechanisms.


WE designed each part using Part Design, assembled using Assembly Design and did kinematic simulation using combination of Mechanical Systems Design and Mechanical Systemes Experinece.
