Mechanisms are widely used in engineering as components of different types of machines and devices. In this paper, careful consideration is given to the studying and motion analysis of Whitworth quick return mechanism, which represents a modification of slider-crank mechanism. This mechanism has many applications, but mostly is used in machine tools and hydraulic machines (pumps). From an engineering standpoint, the quick return mechanism impacted the technology of the Industrial Revolution by minimizing the duration of a full revolution, thus reducing total machining time and cost. In this paper, the structure of a quick-return mechanism is explained, as well as motion analysis which includes determination of velocity and acceleration by using SolidWorks feautures. Also, the input parameters used for this method are optimized to imitate the mechanism motion in real conditions.
