CAM ANALYSIS APPARATUS
Aim:
To study the profile of given can using cam analysis system and to draw the displacement diagram for
the follower and the cam profile.
Apparatus required:
Cam analysis system
Specification :
Diameter of base circle = 40mm, Lift =8mm, Nose radius = 8mm
Type of follower motion = ...SHM (during ascent & descent)
Procedure:
Cam analysis system consists of cam roller follower, pull rod and guide of pull rod.
1. Set the cam at 0° and note down the projected length of the pull rod
2. Rotate the can through 10° and note down the projected length of the pull rod above the guide
3. Calculate the lift by subtracting each reading with the initial reading.
