Geneva Mechanism

Geneva Mechanism

Product Code : EL-AMLE-10628

Quick Answer: The Geneva Mechanism is a commonly used mechanism for producing intermittent rotary motion from a uniform input speed. Its driven member, or star wheel, contains evenly spaced slots into which the roller of the driving crank slides: as the drive wheel turns, it enters a slot of the star wheel and the mechanism enters its motion period, and as the pin leaves the slot the drive wheel has been indexed and stays stationary until the pin rotates back around.

As the drive wheel turns it enters the slots of the driven, or star, wheel and the mechanism enters its motion period. As the pin leaves the slot the drive wheel has been indexed and it continues to stay stationary until the pin rotates back around.
