Belt-Driven Dwell Mechanism

grabcad

This device employs a belt and eccentric shaft to generate speed. The total velocity is the sum of the constant speed from the pulley/belt and the oscillating pace from the eccentric shaft. At times they move in same direction and add, while at other instances they counter each other and subtract. The model has been created using Solidworks 2015 and visualized with Simlab Composer 6 Mechanical Edition. Frames have been edited in Virtualdub before being saved as AVI/X264 and BMP files. MyMP4BoxGui was used to convert the video into MP4 format, while Gifs were created using Photoscape. Finally, IrfanView was employed to edit the renders. This model is available in various formats including Solidworks 2015, DAE, STEP, IGES, STL, Parasolid, OBJ, SketchUp and 3DS.
