Geneva Mechanism
Project Overview
Designed a Geneva mechanism using Autodesk Fusion 360 as part of a mechanical engineering club project.
The Geneva mechanism is an intermittent motion mechanism that converts continuous rotational motion into controlled step-by-step rotational movement.
Key Design Features:
- 3D modelling of the driving wheel and Geneva wheel.
- Design of slots and driving pin arrangement.
- Modelling of supporting components and shafts.
- Mechanical assembly and component positioning.
- Understanding of intermittent motion and mechanical transmission.
Working Principle:
The driving wheel rotates continuously, and its driving pin engages with the slots of the Geneva wheel, producing intermittent rotational motion. Between engagements, the locking mechanism helps keep the Geneva wheel stationary.
Software Used: Autodesk Fusion 360
Domain: Mechanical Design | Mechanism Design | 3D CAD Modelling
Project Objective: To understand and develop an intermittent motion mechanism through mechanical modelling and assembly design.
