Internal Geneva Mechanism
Motion Analysis Of Internal Geneva Mechanism
Objective: To create 3D model of the internal geneva mechanism and to perform motion analysis.
Given 2D CAD Drawings:
Created 3D Models :
Assembly :
RESULTS PLOTS:
AT 10 RPM
CONTACT FORCE BETWEEN DRIVER AND DRIVEN WHEEL:
WITHOUT PRECISE CONTACT:
WITH PRECISE CONTACT
ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT OF DRIVEN WHEEL AT 10 RPM
WITHOUT PRECISE CONTACT:
WITH PRECISE CONTACT
AT 20 RPM
CONTACT FORCE BETWEEN DRIVER AND DRIVEN WHEEL:
WITHOUT PRECISE CONTACT:
WITH PRECISE CONTACT:
ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT OF DRIVEN WHEEL AT 20 RPM
WITHOUT PRECISE CONTACT:
WITH PRECISE CONTACT:
Assumptions:
- Used 60 Frames per second for 10 rpm and then Frames per second for 20 Rpm.
- Material for driver and driven is 1023 Carbon steel.
- contact between surfaces is solid body contact.
Result :
It is evident from the graphs that the contact force between the driver and driven components increases with an increase in the RPM of the driver wheel.
