Coriolis component of acceleration:
- When a point on one link is sliding along another rotating link such as in quick return motion mechanism, then the Coriolis component of acceleration comes into account.
- It is the tangential component of the acceleration of the slider with respect to the coincident point on the link.
- Mathematically, Coriolis component of acceleration, ac = 2vω
- The direction of the Coriolis component of acceleration is given by rotating the velocity of the slider by 90° in the direction of the angular velocity of the rotating link.
