CAM ANALYSIS APPARATUS

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

The setup is a motorized unit consisting of a cam shaft driven by a variable speed motor. The free end of the cam shaft has a facility to mount the cam easily.The follower is properly guided in gunmetal bushes and the type of follower can be changed according to the camunder test. Graduated circular protractor is fitted co-axial with the shaft and dial gauge fitted on the follower shaft, is used to note the follower displacement for the angle ofcam rotation. A spring is used to provide controlling force to the follower system. Weights on the follower shaft canbe adjusted as per the requirement. An arrangement isprovided to regulate the speed. The Cam Analysis Apparatus is very useful for testing the cam performance for jump phenomenon during operation and the effect of change of inertia forces on jump action of cam-follower during operation can be observed. Three sets of cams and followers are supplied with the apparatus. These arealready hardened to reduce the wear.
