What connection combination would I need for a geneva wheel mechanism

    I'm interested in creating a mechanism that is regulated by a Geneva wheel
    mechanism in Pro/E. But I'm stuck as to what mechanism connection I should
    use. I'm thinking along the lines of the slot-follower connection but I
    don't know what the "slot" curves should be and what datum feature I should
    use for the follower.


    Thanks

    Dear Xavier,

    Try using a cam with lift-off. The cylindrical surfaces of the pin and the
    inner surfaces of the slot should be selected for each cam-pair. Make sure
    that the surface normals are pointing towards each other. Get a single
    pin-slot working first, then add other cams for each slot.
