Analysis of Mechanical Error in Spherical Geneva Mechanism - A Stochastic Approach by

Himanshu Suthar | Mihir Raj

Abstract: The report presents the analysis of mechanical error in Spherical Geneva systems, with the inclusion of behavior of kinematic properties with respect to the errors incorporated. The report consists of acceleration and jerk values of a spherical Geneva for a uniform input in terms of the dimensions of the system. The values of these components were calculated for around 40 positions, over 20 error values. The analysis is done separately for constant values of radius of the driver wheel, and length between centres of driver wheel and driven wheel while having tolerance in the other. The physical means and standard deviations for these kinematic elements can help in understanding the properties and optimizing functioning for real - life purposes. For the purpose, the errors (tolerance values of the link lengths) were taken normally distributed and can be calculated for the errors incorporated using the methods described here. This report also helps in understanding the changes over a complete cycle and can be used for optimal synthesis of Geneva systems, considering strength and damages.
