The Scott Russell mechanism, also known as the Scotch Yoke mechanism, is an ingenious type of linkage that converts linear motion into rotary motion or vice versa. This mechanism utilizes a cylinder, which moves linearly back and forth within a circular track, to drive rotational movement in an attached wheel. Its simple yet effective design has made it popular in various mechanical applications throughout history.
