Scott-Russell Straight Line Motion Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-PLE-10913
Quick Answer: The Scott-Russell Straight Line Motion is a link mechanism model in which a longer link, pivoted at its mid-point to a shorter link, makes one end travel in a straight line.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- Longer link AB with a pivot at its mid-point
- Shorter link connected to the mid-point pivot
- Geometry CD = BD = AD makes point A travel in a straight line as B moves toward C
- Part of a range designed to demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering principles
- Self-contained and compact apparatus
About This Product
The Scott-Russell linkage is a classic way to produce a straight-line path from the geometry of the links alone, without a slide or guide. Because the mid-point pivot D is the same distance from A, B and C, one end must move in a straight line as the other end swings. Students move the model by hand and check the path against a straight edge. The Scott-Russell Straight Line Motion can be supplied for export orders from United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Sudan, Mali, Bolivia and Croatia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Why does point A move in a straight line?
Because CD = BD = AD, the geometry ensures that as B moves toward C the point A must travel in a straight line.
Q2. How is the Scott-Russell mechanism arranged?
The longer link AB has a pivot at its mid-point, to which the shorter link is connected.
