Designing a Geneva Mechanism: Overcoming Challenges

[QUOTE="Baluncore, post: 6654931, member: 447632"] One pin with several slots is traditional. Keeping the same base, inputs and outputs, swap pins and slots. Just which component you fix is up to you, but try to keep the discussion traditional. I would arrange a single rotating actuator disc with a cam that pushes the pin away, with a small rocker or guide operated by the same cam to push the pin back. The critical thing about the design is the connections to the circle of pins. How do they extend up and down? Without that detail, it is not possible to see solutions that are simpler than the Geneva mechanism. This is a bit like the design of a circular knitting machine, used to make socks.
