Spherical Geneva mechanism is a type of intermittent motion mechanism. It translates a continuous rotation into intermittent rotary motion. The driver and the driven wheels are on perpendicular shafts. The rotating drive wheel has a pin that reaches into a
Linear Geneva Mechanism
Linear Geneva mechanism is a type of intermittent motion mechanism. It translates a continuous rotation into intermittent linear motion. The crank (driver) has a pin that reaches into a slot of the slider. The driver wheel has a raised circular
Ratchet and Pawl Mechanism
Ratchet and Pawl mechanism is a type of intermittent motion mechanism. It allows the rotation of the shaft in one direction only and prevents its motion in the other direction. It consists of an arm that pivots about the center
