Introduction A cam is a common mechanism element that drives a matting component known as follower. The camshaft is driven by the engine. As the cam rotates, and the rocker arm in turn, imparts a linear, reciprocating motion to a valve stem. The rocker arm follower needs to maintain contact with the cam surface to achieve the desired motion. ENT348 Mechanical System 5
ENT348 Mechanical System 6
CAM TERMINOLOGY Types of Cams 1. Plate or disk cam This type of cam is formed on a disk or plate. The radial distance from the center of the disk is varied throughout the circumference of the cam. Allowing a follower to ride on this outer edge gives the follower a radial motion. ENT348 Mechanical System 7
CAM TERMINOLOGY Types of Cams 2. A cylindrical or drum This type of cam is formed on a cylinder. A groove is cut into the cylinder, which varies along the axis of rotation. Attaching a follower that rides in the groove gives the follower motion along the axis of rotation. ENT348 Mechanical System 8
Types of Cams 3. A linear cam CAM TERMINOLOGY This type of cam is formed on a translated block. A groove is cut into the block with a distance that varies from the plane of translation. Attaching a follower that rides in the groove gives the follower motion perpendicular to the plate of translation. ENT348 Mechanical System 9
CAM TERMINOLOGY Classification of Cam-follower 1. Type of follower motion (translating or rotating). 2. Type of cam, radial, cylindrical, threedimensional. 3. Type of joint closure (force or form closed). 4. Type of follower (curved or flat and rolling or sliding). 5. Type of constraints (critical extreme position (CEP). ENT348 Mechanical System 10
Type of follower motion System with an oscillating or rotating follower Radial Cam AN OSCILLATING CAM-FOLLOWER ENT348 Mechanical System 11
CAM TERMINOLOGY Radial Cam A TRANSLATING CAM-FOLLOWER The choice between these two forms of the cam-follower is usually dictated by the type of output desired. ENT348 Mechanical System 12
Follower Position ENT348 Mechanical System 13
Type of joint closure Force closure requires an external force be applied to the joint in order to keep the two links, cam and follower, physical in contact. The force is usually provided by a spring. This force defined as positive in a direction that close the joint, cannot be allowed to become negative. The links have lost contact because a forceclosed joint can only push, not pull. ENT348 Mechanical System 14
Radial Cam Form closure No external force is required. There are really two cam surfaces in this arrangement, one surface on each side of the follower. Each surface pushes, in its turn, to drive the follower in both directions. Figure shows track or groove cams that capture a single follower in the groove and both push and pull on the follower. ENT348 Mechanical System 15
Conjugate cams Radial Cam Figure shows conjugate terms. Two roller followers, attached to a common arm, are each pushed in opposite directions by the conjugate cams. ENT348 Mechanical System 16
Type of follower Radial Cam Part of the follower link that contacts the cam ENT348 Mechanical System 17
An axial cam An axial cam whose follower moves parallel to the axis of cam rotation. A face cam if open (face-closed) and a cylindrical or barrel cam if grooved or ribbed (form-closed) ENT348 Mechanical System 18
