One Tooth at a Time
grabcad
This project showcases a Dynamic Simulation in Autodesk Inventor 2014, featuring an imposed motion on the crank (83 rotations per minute, or 500 degrees per second) and gravitational forces. The objective is to transform continuous crank rotation into intermittent toothed disk movement, with one tooth advancing per rotation. The roller, under tension from a weight lever, halts inertial motion between indexing arm actions. Animation is achieved by transferring simulation data to Inventor Studio via the "Publish to Studio" tool. To experience this simulation, ensure all files are in one directory and open with Inventor 2014, 2015, or later. Within Environments/Dynamic Simulation, hit the Play button; for quicker loading, reduce image count from 4000 to 1000 if needed. Happy exploring!
