    CHAPTER 4

    CAMS
    • Cam - A mechanical device used to transmit motion to a
    follower by direct contact.

    • Cam – driver; Follower - driven

    • In a cam - follower pair, the cam normally rotates while


    the follower may translate or oscillate.

    Three elements of the cam Example of cam action


    • Types of Cams

    Yoke cam
    • Types of Followers :
    (i) Based on surface in contact
    • Types of Followers :
    (i) Based on surface in contact
    • Types of the Followers :
    (ii) Based on type of motion
    Radial (in line) follower
    1) Reciprocating follower

    2) Oscillating follower

    Off-set follower
    Application of Cam and Follower

    • Cam and follower are widely used for operating inlet and
    exhaust valve of IC engine.
    Cam Terminology
    Prescribed motion of the follower
    Example: A cam is to be used for a platform that will repeatedly lift
    boxes from a lower conveyor to an upper conveyor. This machine is
    shown in the figure below. Plot a displacement diagram and
    determine the required constant speed of the cam when the follower
    motion sequence is as follows:
    • Rise 2 in. in 1.2 s.
    • Dwell for 0.3 s.
    • Fall 1 in. in 0.9 s.
    • Dwell 0.6 s.
    • Fall 1 in. in 0.9 s.
    Follower basic motion
    1- Uniform motion (Constant velocity)
    Graphical representation of the displacement

    1. Divide the follower rise (or fall) sequence into two halves. AE represents the time period
    and EF the magnitude of rise for the first half of this motion scheme.
    2. Divide both the horizontal and vertical axes of the quadrant AEFH into equal parts.
    3. Construct vertical lines from the horizontal divisions.
    4. Construct straight lines from corner A to the vertical divisions.
    5. Draw a smooth curve through the points of intersection of the vertical lines and the lines
    drawn from corner A.
    6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for the remaining half of the curve as shown in quadrant FICG
    2- Harmonic Motion
    Graphical representation of the displacement

    1.Construct a semicircle having a diameter equal to the amount of rise (or fall) desired.
    2.Divide the rise time period into incremental divisions.
    3.Divide the semicircle into the same number of equal divisions of the follower rise period.
    4.Draw vertical lines from the divisions on the time axis.
    5.Draw horizontal lines from the division points on the semicircle to the corresponding division
    lines on the time axis.
    6.Draw a smooth curve through the points of intersection found in the previous step.
    Layout of the cam profile
    Graphical representation of the cam profile
    Given :
    - displacement diagram
    - Base circle diameter
    - Type of follower and its motion
    Required :
    - Draw cam contour (profile)

    Example : Design of a plate cam with an In-Line knife edge follower


    STEPS :

    The following general procedure is used to graphically construct such a profile:


    1. Draw the base circle of radius Rb. The size is typically a function of the spatial
    constraints of the application.
    2. Draw the follower in the home position.
    3. Draw radial lines from the center of the cam, corresponding to the cam angles
    identified on the displacement diagram. For construction purposes, the cam will
    remain stationary and the follower will be rotated in a direction opposite to the actual
    cam rotation.
    4. Transfer the displacements from the displacement diagram to the radial lines.
    Measure these displacements from the base circle.
    5. Draw a smooth curve through these prescribed displacements.
    6. To accurately construct a profile consistent with the displacement diagram, it may be
    necessary to transfer additional intermediate points from the rise and fall intervals.
