In an energy conserving intermittent motion device, energy is alternately stored and released by twisting and untwisting a torsion rod to intermittently rotate a driven member, e.g., a feed platen. The torsion rod is twisted and untwisted by selectively restraining and releasing opposite ends thereof through pairs of clutch devices. Frictional losses in the system are compensated for by a servo-controlled variable torque motor which is controlled so as to supply just enough torque to compensate for the frictional losses.
