Solved problems based on CAM Profiles Cam is a very important topic in the kinematics of machines or theory of machines. Here we are presenting some solved problems based on cam profiles. Although we checked the errors, but if you … Continued
Cam nomenclature & Displacement Diagram for Different CAM Profiles Fig. :Cam nomenclature Cam Profile: The contour of the working surface of the cam. Tracer Point: The point at the knife edge of a follower, or the center of a roller, … Continued
INTRODUCTION of CAMS and Types of CAM and Followers A cam is a mechanical device used to transmit motion to a follower by direct contact. The driver is called the cam and the driven member is called the follower. In … Continued
Intermittent motion mechanisms An intermittent-motion mechanism is a linkage which converts continuous motion into intermittent motion. These mechanisms are commonly used for indexing in machine tools. Geneva wheel mechanism Fig.1: Geneva wheel mechanism In the mechanism shown (Fig.1), link … Continued
