| 1. | This newly drawn circle represents the potential motion of the crank arm.
|
| 2. | Draw the crank arm pivot point anywhere on this ground level.
|
| 3. | The counter-weights are screwed on the center and outer crank arms.
|
| 4. | Therefore, given the stroke, the length of the crank arm can be determined.
|
| 5. | To measure torque, strain gages which are precisely laid along the left crank arm.
|
| 6. | With all in-line slider-crank mechanisms, the stroke is twice the length of the crank arm.
|
| 7. | These gages detect the flex of the crank arm when a downward force is applies.
|
| 8. | Make sure the crank arm has not come loose from the bottom edge, inside the window.
|
| 9. | The crank had intricately CNC machined wide hollow crank arms made of two halves glued together.
|
| 10. | Once drawn, the crank arm should be coincident with the ground level axis that was initially drawn.
