Abstract

This paper deals with the static and dynamic output kinematic accuracy of a group of elastic slider-crank mechanisms with the same design parameters by taking the bar length, the joint-gaps, the mass density, and the sectional and the physical parameters as random variables. According to the principle of linear pile-up of small displacement, the static and dynamic output kinematic errors are synthesized, and the reliability model of the kinematic accuracy of the mechanism is built. Through an example, a study of the influencing factors on the reliability of the output kinematic accuracy of the mechanism is made. The results obtained reveal the following facts: with the increase of the crank s rotating speed, the dynamic elastic deformation of the mechanism becomes the principal factor that greatly affects the reliability of the output kinematic accuracy of the mechanism.
