Malinga ndi njira yogwedera ya thupi la kugwedera kwa makina ogwedera, ikhoza kugawidwa m'makina ogwedera a njira yobwererana, makina ogwedera a njira yogwedera ya gyroscopic, ndi makina ogwedera a njira yovuta yogwedera. Malinga ndi njira yogwedera ya kugwedera, ingagawidwe m'makina ogwedera a crank linkage, makina ogwedera a electromagnetic ndi makina ogwedera a inertial.
Njira yolumikizira chigwirizano cha crank imayendetsedwa ndi njira yolumikizira chigwirizano cha crank, mbali imodzi ya chigwirizanocho imalumikizidwa ku choyendetsa chachikulu, ndipo mbali inayo imalumikizidwa ku cholumikizira. Ndodo yolumikizira ili ndi mitundu iwiri ya ndodo zolimba zolumikizira ndi ndodo zolumikizira zotanuka. Ndodo yolumikizira yolimba ikagwiritsidwa ntchito, mbali inayo ya ndodo yolumikizira imalumikizidwa ndi thupi logwedezeka; ndodo yolumikizira yotanuka ikagwiritsidwa ntchito, mbali inayo ya ndodo yolumikizira imadutsa kumapeto kwa kasupe wotumizira ndi kulumikizana kwa thupi logwedezeka. Choyendetsa chachikulu chimayendetsa chigwirizanocho kuti chizungulire, motero chimayendetsa thupi logwedezeka kudzera mu ndodo yolumikizira kuti libwezeretse. Mphamvu yopanda mphamvu ya thupi logwedezeka imatumizidwa ku maziko kudzera mu njira yolumikizira chigwirizano cha crank. Kuti muchepetse mphamvu yotumizidwa ku maziko, nthawi zambiri ndikofunikira kuwonjezera a-bias kuti muyendetse bwino kayendedwe.
Kutalika kwa crank kumatsimikiza kukula kwa thupi logwedezeka, ndipo liwiro lozungulira la crank limatsimikiza kuchuluka kwa ntchito ya thupi logwedezeka.
Mtundu uwu wa makina ogwedera uli ndi makhalidwe awa:
(1) Phokoso lalikulu la ntchito ndi moyo waufupi
(2) Mphamvu ya thupi logwedezeka silingathe kulinganizidwa yokha
(3) Njira yosonkhezera ilibe kulemera kowonjezera pa thupi logwedezeka. Imagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka pa nthawi yochepa komanso yamphamvu kwambiri.
