Internal Geneva Mechanism

Objectives :

1.Create the cad and perform the motion analysis of the assembly.

2.Create 3D models for driver and driven wheels

3.Perform motion analysis by rotating the driver wheel at 10rpm and 60fps.

4.Obtain the following plots: Contact force (between driving and the driven wheel) as a function of time, Angular Displacement of the driven wheel, Compare the contact forces with and without "Precise contact", Show image for precise contact selection.

5. Follow same procedure for 20 rpm and 120 fps.

Dimensions and parameters:

Contact between surfaces is steel (dry)

1. At rpm 10 and 60fps

With contact:

Without contact:

Angular velocity:

Angular displacement:

At 20 Rpm and 120 fps:

With contact:

Without contact:

Angular velocity:

Angular Displacement:

Conclusion:

The design of a Geneva wheel drive mechanism that performs significantly
better than conventional crank drive approach. The assembly and motion analysis of Geneva wheel is completed as sucessfully.
