Geneva Drive is a gear mechanism that translates rotation motion into intermittent rotary motion.
The rotating drive wheel has a pin that enters into the slot of the driven wheel and makes it rotate step by step. The driving wheel has also an elevated half circle that locks the driven wheel in position between steps.
The main difference between Geneva drive and other gears is that Geneva drive has unusual teeth. Unlike other gears, in Geneva drive, the interaction between the driving and the driven part is not continuous and the resultant motion is intermittent.
Working of Geneva Drive:-
In Geneva drive, there are two wheels, a driving and a driven wheel. The driving wheel has a pin and a little more than a semi-circular disc which is elevated.
The driven wheel has 4, 6, or more slots in which the pin of the driving wheel passes and rotates the driven wheel to angle depending upon the number of slots. If it has 4 slots, it will be rotated 90 degrees in one step and if it has 6 slots, it will be rotated 60 degrees at one step. The circular elevated disc is used to lock the driven wheel after each step.
