Abstract
A simple yet comprehensive method is proposed for the design of a Geneva indexing mechanism with curved slots. In the proposed approach, conjugate surface theory is used to derive an analytical description of the profile of the curved slots with and without an offset feature. Analytical formulae are then presented for the pressure angle of the Geneva mechanism and the principal curvatures of the curved slots. The effectiveness of an appropriate offset angle in eliminating the singular points and double-points on the curved slot profile is then demonstrated. Finally, a Geneva mechanism is fabricated in order to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
