Is there a device out there that I can install on a small rotary motor to covert the rotary movement of the rod to linear movement? (instead of going through the process of assembling the gear, shaft..., this must have been done before...).

put an arm perpindicular on the shaft, put another arm pinned to the first, and slide the second through a sleeve.
just like an old fasioned steam engine turned linear movement (piston) into rotary(drive wheel

Maybe a rack-and-pinion gear, if you have an alternator that works equally well in either direction, or a flexible toothed belt on a gearwheel. The problem I see with the simple crank is that the amplitude of the wave is not constant. This has been a big problem that no-one has really solved nicely - turning near-chaotic motion into useful energy, generating useful power in normal conditions while being sturdy enough to not be destroyed in storms.

Use the mechanical gear, Hooks coupling, oldham coupling with some other applicable coupling to convert rotary movement to linear movement. which is old model and patented.
If you not able understand and identify to convert....try to find your own way of conversion...

Is this rotory motor like a Mazda rotory engine or an electrical motor ? or the crankshaft in an engine?
Do you want to move this rod (lets say a pipe)in one direction or receprocating (back and forth like a piston rod in an engine)?
