In crank presses, an important role is played by the presence of actuators with dwell, in which, with continuous movement of the input links, the output working link remains stationary at some part of the work. The use of a high-class structural group (fourth class) expands the functionality of the crank press, including it can ensure the link dwell of the working link on a given section of movement during the required period of time. As a result of the conducted numerical research, four variants of actuators of the crank knee press were designed. Due to the rational choice of the positions of racks and crosshead guide, the best layout of the dimensions of the press mechanism has been achieved. Changing the coordinates of the racks accordingly allows for designing a mechanism with upper or lower dwells of the working links. The duration of the dwell of the working link (slider) can be adjusted by selecting the distance between the racks with rotational pairs and a crosshead guide of the mechanism. All this is shown on the basis of a numerical experiment based on kinematic analysis. In addition, the proposed structure of the mechanism makes it possible to ensure the exact link dwell, which cannot be achieved due to the well-known knee presses based on the second-class mechanism.
