Peg And Slot Mechanism
Thank you so, so much for the marvellous Instructable. I did a Harry Potter themed wood carving which lights up at night. I needed a cover for the back for the batteries that I could remove and replace without having to take the back covers off. I wanted the battery cover to look like the door to the chamber of secrets, so I cut out a snake knot door and added it to a slight variation on your design above and it worked perfectly. Now I can remove the back by twisting and lifting it off, and replace it and lock it back into place with a twist. Marvellous!
I don't have a laser cutter by the way, so I used a scroll saw, and I used ice lolly sticks for the arms. It worked perfectly.
You can find details of this back cover and the entire carving on my website here if you're interested.

Thanks so much again.
Peg And Slot Mechanism Action
In the toggle mechanism shown in Fig. 8.16, slider D is constrained to move on a horizontal path. The crank OA is rotating in the CCW direction at a speed of 180 rpm increasing at the rate of 50 rad/s2. The dimensions of the various links are as follows: OA = 180 mm; CB = 240 mm; AB = 360 mm; and BD = 540 mm. For the given configuration, find 1.
Peg And Slot Mechanism Lock
- In order to operate a mechanism, an actuator, or driver device, is required to provide the input motion and energy. To precisely operate a mechanism, one driver is required for each degree of freedom exhibited. Many different actuators are used in industrial and commercial machines and mechanisms. Some of the more common ones.
- A tuning peg in a pegbox is perhaps the most common system. A peg has a grip or knob on it to allow it to be turned. A tuning pin is a tuning peg with a detachable grip, called a tuning lever. The socket on the tuning lever fits over the pin and allows it to be turned.
- To almost 65% during assembly. The maximum peg insertion depth is 7.95 mm at a slot diameter of 2.0 mm. The major benefits of such a mechanism using IPMC are that the mechanism is light-weight and all links are flexible, it is easy to control the IPMC and path correction is also achieved easily during assembly.
