Thanks for the responses guys. Some great suggestions here. PNachtwey, indeed, a servomotor would solve many of my problems, unfortunately though, I can't use any electronics for this application. Tbuelna, indeed, that is exactly the route I'm exploring right now. I am exploring different rotary...
The spring will do 4 revolutions before rewinding. The speed accuracy is important. For 270 degrees of each rev, the rotational speed should be 1-2 rpm, while for the other 90 degrees of each rev (when the pin of the drive wheel moves the Geneva wheel), the rotational speed does not matter too...
Hi all,
I have a constant torque spring that rotates the drive wheel of a Geneva mechanism. I am facing the following problem. I would like a very slow rotation of the drive wheel whenever the drive wheel is not driving the Geneva wheel of the Geneva mechanism (which is 270 degrees of a...
