Geneva Mechanism Apparatus | ProDynami - 1292
Product Overview
The Geneva Mechanism Apparatus ProDynami - 1292 demonstrates the Geneva drive, converting continuous rotation into intermittent rotary motion. This Geneva Mechanism apparatus features a six-slot driven wheel advancing 60° per rotation, with an anodised aluminium drive disc mounted on ball bearings. A scale on the drive disc allows exact input angle measurement. The unit sits on an HDF base with rubber feet for laboratory table use.

Construction and Design
The Geneva Mechanism Apparatus ProDynami - 1292 consists of a rotating drive wheel with a pin that reaches into a slot of the driven wheel, advancing it by one step. A raised circular blocking disc on the drive wheel locks the driven wheel in position between steps. The driven wheel has six slots and advances 60° per rotation of the drive wheel. An anodised aluminium disc, mounted on ball bearings, serves as the driver and includes a scale for exact input angle measurement. The crank pin is used for the movement of the driven wheel, which is made of black anodised aluminum. All components are fitted to an HDF base equipped with rubber feet, allowing the unit to be placed directly on the laboratory table for the experiment.
