This article concerns the free travel ratchet mechanism of the non-frictional type with the account of the impossibility of its elements precise manufacture. There have been offered the calculation method based on the theory of the indefinite functions. This method gives the possibility to take into consideration the influence of the errors of manufacture of the free travel mechanism elements on conditions of the mechanism locking and on the probability to put into operation as many working bodies as possible. There have been made the attempt to take into consideration the elasticity and also there have been given the example of the simplified calculation according to the suggested procedure.
