Crankshaft rotation versus stroke Formula

Crankshaft rotation versus stroke Formula

Crankshaft rotation versus stroke Formula

(OP)
Does anyone have the formula to calculate crankshaft rotation in degrees versus stroke position? I have all of the stroke and rod length information.

Thanks.

RE: Crankshaft rotation versus stroke Formula

See if this link opens, for a sheet that I slapped together showing piston position, velocity, and accn, versus crank angle (w*t), for cases with and without crankshaft and piston pin offset.

http://www.geocities.com/compact_enthusiast1/slider_eqns.pdf

the simple case, w/o pin offset or crank offset, is:

y.piston = a*cos(theta)+sqrt[r^2 - a^2*sin(theta)^2]
where "a" is the crank throw, and "r" is the conrod length.  "Theta" is the crank angle from TDC.
