How to convert uniform linear motion(mm/s) to uniform rotary motion(deg/s). I.e. table saw blade tilt mechanism. Something like reversed Scotch yoke mechnism.

1What constraints? Full revolution? Pi radians? Continuous or reciprocating? Speed or accuracy? Scotch yoke will not be linear. See the Tchebychev Lambda Motion for one approach http://engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/13203/how-this-radio-knob-converting-a-rotation-into-a-straight-linear-motion/13213#13213 – user_1818839 Feb 22 '17 at 11:53

Like the saw, 90 degrees non-reciprocating, 1mm/s to 0,5 degree/s – Zveratko Feb 22 '17 at 16:56

However in a table saw tilt mechanism the rack is actually just a segment of a much) larger gear.
Howecer the scotch yoke is not uniform rotary to uniform linear, it is actually uniform rotary to sine linear. You can get rotary motion out of reciprocal motion using a crankshaft. You may need to add a flywheel to maintain the rotary momentum.

Well, to answer the question directly, a belt and pulley system precisely converts linear to rotary motion. Sprockets & chains, toothed belts, etc can drive in either direction.
