Abstract
Among various mechanisms producing intermittent rotary motion, the Geneva mechanism is the simplest and most widely used for its accuracy and self-locking function. The main disadvantage in terms of dynamic property is the discontinuity in the acceleration at the start and the end of motion. This paper studies the possibility of using a linear or non-linear spring element between the slot and the driving pin to improve its dynamic performance. The improvements shown by computer simulation are positive and promising.
