A drive mechanism for driving a heald frame of a weaving machine, the drive mechanism having a crank rotating about a crank axis, a coupling rod, and a swivel lever having a first arm and a second arm, the coupling rod is linked to the first arm of the swivel lever by a second hinged joint adjustable with respect to the first arm of the swivel lever, wherein in at intended locations of the second hinged joint with respect to the first arm of the swivel lever, the second hinged joint is situated on an arc of an imaginary circle when the swivel lever is in a central position between the upper position and the lower position, wherein the imaginary circle has a radius that is equal to the distance between the first hinged joint and the second hinged joint, and the imaginary circle has a center that coincides with the crank axis.

A drive mechanism for driving a heald frame of a weaving machine, the drive mechanism having a sensor device, wherein the sensor device has at least three members having both a target set with one or more targets and a detector set with one or more detectors, wherein one of the detector set and the target set is arranged at the swivel lever and the other one is arranged stationary on the weaving machine, targets of the target set and/or detectors of the detector set have different characteristics for generating a first signal when approaching the measuring position from the upper position or when departing from the measuring position towards the upper position and for generating a second signal when approaching the measuring position from the lower position or when departing from the measuring position towards the lower position, and the second signal differs from the first signal.
