MBD Schubkurbelgetriebe.

The Slider Crank Mechanism, "MBD", designed by EDIBON, is an example of slider-crank mechanism.

This mechanism is made of aluminum and consists of a rotary element (graduated disc), called crank, connected to a rigid bar, calledconnecting rod. When the crank rotates, the connecting rod moves backwards and forwards.

The input angle is set on the ball bearing mounted crank disc and read on an angle measuring scale. A millimeter scale is fitted for thelinear motion of the connecting rod. The "MBD" unit includes two connecting rods of different length so that they can be compared.
