description Conveyors are one of the important components of transport systems and are used in almost all branches of mechanical engineering. This paper investigates the dynamics of the intermittent motion conveyor mechanical system. The mechanical transmission is a planetary mechanism with elliptical gears, in which the intermittent motion of the output shaft is provided by a variable gear ratio of non-circular gears. A single-mass dynamic model is built by reducing the masses, forces and moments to the initial link, which is the input shaft of the mechanism. The solutions of the equations of initial link motion were obtained using two methods, the energy-mass method and the third-order Hermite method. Dynamic studies by the energy-mass method made it possible to determine flywheel moment of inertia to reduce the coefficient of initial link rotation irregularity. The convergence of the functions of the initial link angular velocity obtained by both methods was confirmed. The results can be used for further force analysis, strength calculations, design and manufacture of the conveyor.
