Cams Cams are used to convert rotary motion to

oscillatory motion (almost always) or oscillatory motion to rotary motion (rarely)

For high speed applications – example, internal combustion engines

Objectives of this chapter:◦ Learn fundamental concepts and terminology◦ Learn how to design a cam and follower set to

achieve a desired output motion.

Examples for cam

In IC engines to operate the inlet and exhaust valves

Classification of CAM Mechanism

Based on modes of Input / Output motion1 Rotating cam – Translating follower2 Rotating cam – Oscillating follower 3 Translating cam – Translating follower

Page 6: CAM AND FOLLOWER

1 Rotating cam – Translating follower

Page 7: CAM AND FOLLOWER

2 Rotating cam – oscillating follower

Page 9: CAM AND FOLLOWER

Classification of camsa) Radial or disc cam b) Cylindrical cam c) End cam

Page 10: CAM AND FOLLOWER

a) Radial or Disc cam

In radial cams, the follower

reciprocates or oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the cam axis.

Page 11: CAM AND FOLLOWER

b) Cylindrical cams

In cylindrical cams, the follower reciprocates or oscillates in a direction parallel to the cams axis.

Page 12: CAM AND FOLLOWER

c) End cams

It is also similar to cylindrical cams, but the follower makes contact at periphery of the cam as shown in fig

Page 13: CAM AND FOLLOWER

Follower is the element to which the motion of cam is provided

i.e. Reciprocating or oscillating motion

WHAT IS FOLLOWER ?

Page 14: CAM AND FOLLOWER

Type of follower MotionUniform VelocityThe cam follower rises and falls at a constant speed. The start and stop of the follower is very abrupt and rough.

Modified Uniform VelocityThe modified uniform velocity motion smoothes out the roughness of the uniform velocity motion by adding a radius at the high and low points of the cam motion.

Page 15: CAM AND FOLLOWER

Type of follower MotionHarmonic MotionThe follower motion has a smooth start and stop but the speed is not uniform. This type of motion is used where the cam rotates at a very fast speed.

Uniform AccelerationThe uniform acceleration is the smoothest motion of all of the cams and causes the follower to maintain a constant speed throughout the cam travel.

Classification of followers1.According to the shape of follower Knife edge follower Roller follower Flat faced follower Spherical faced follower

a) Knife edge follower

Page 18: CAM AND FOLLOWER

b) Roller follower

Page 19: CAM AND FOLLOWER

c) Flat faced follower

d) Spherical faced follower

2 According to the path of motion of followera) Radial follower b) Offset follower

Page 22: CAM AND FOLLOWER

a) Radial follower

When the motion of the follower is along an axis passing through the centre of the cam, it is known as radial followers. Above figures are examples of this type.

Page 23: CAM AND FOLLOWER

b) Offset follower

When the motion of the follower is along an axis away from the axis of the cam centre, it is called off-set follower. Above figures are examples of this type.

3.On the basis of motion of follower

Page 25: CAM AND FOLLOWER

CAM Nomenclature

Cam profile: The outer surface of the disc cam.

Base circle : The circle with the shortest radius from the cam center to any part of the cam profile.

Trace point: It is a point on the follower, and its motion describes the movement of the follower. It is used to generate the pitch curve.

Page 26: CAM AND FOLLOWER

CAM Nomenclature

Pitch curve : The path generated by the trace point as the follower is rotated about a stationery cam.

Prime circle: The smallest circle from the cam center through the pitch curve

Page 27: CAM AND FOLLOWER

CAM Nomenclature

Pressure angle: The angle between the direction of the follower movement and the normal to the pitch curve.

Pitch point: Pitch point corresponds to the point of maximum pressure angle.

Page 28: CAM AND FOLLOWER

CAM Nomenclature

Pitch circle: A circle drawn from the cam center and passes through the pitch point is called Pitch circle

Stroke: The greatest distance or angle through which the follower moves or rotates
