REVIEW PAPER ON DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING OF GENEVA MECHANISM

  • Unique Paper ID: 204410
  • Volume: 13
  • Issue: 1
  • PageNo: 2703-2706
  • Abstract:
  • The Geneva mechanism is a widely used intermittent motion transmission device that converts continuous rotary motion into controlled indexing motion. Due to its simplicity, accuracy, and reliability, it is extensively employed in automation systems, packaging machines, indexing tables, film projectors, and manufacturing equipment. This review paper presents a comprehensive study of the design principles, manufacturing techniques, applications, advantages, and recent developments in Geneva mechanisms. Various types of Geneva drives, material selection criteria, fabrication methods, and performance considerations are discussed. The paper also highlights challenges associated with wear, vibration, and stress concentration, along with possible improvements through modern design and manufacturing approaches.
