Computerized Cam Analysis
Product Code : EL-DOMLE-10769
Quick Answer:
Computerized Cam Analysis is a demonstration unit for the dynamic investigation of a cam mechanism at various speeds, using four interchangeable cam members (a tangent cam, a hollow cam and two circular-arm cams with different head radius) paired with two engaging-member types (a flat receiver with plunger or a rolling receiver with plunger) to compare their motion behaviour. A speed-controlled drive motor with a large flywheel holds the speed as constant as possible while a valve is simulated with a mass and a spring, and a recorder synchronized with the cam member records the actual elevation curve of the mechanism so students can compare it with theory and determine the limit speed for each combination.
The Computerized Cam Analysis unit allows the dynamic investigation of a cam mechanism at various speeds, comparing four typical cams with their corresponding engaging members in terms of motion behaviour; the valve itself is simulated with a mass and a spring. A recorder synchronized with the cam member records the actual elevation curve of the cam mechanism, while a speed-controlled drive motor fitted with a large flywheel generates a speed that is as constant as possible. The open design means the motion is clearly visible in every detail, and a transparent protective cover ensures safe operation. The experimental unit is intended for demonstration in engineering education and is not suitable for use as a test bench in the field of endurance testing or tribology.
