When a subject is being positioned in a diagnostic imager for a diagnostic scan, a subject support (26) often picks up an accessory carriage (24) along the way without stopping or reducing velocity. To reduce stresses on the subject support (26), accessory carriage (24) and on the subject themselves, an apparatus and method are provided for gradually accelerating the accessory carriage (26) to the speed of the subject support (26). A camming surface (60) engages a pin (54b) of a snap block (52) causing translational motion to be converted into rotational motion, spreading the acceleration of the accessory carriage (24) over a distance (d-d1).
