Cams Cams are used to convert rotary motion to
oscillatory motion (almost always) or oscillatory motion to rotary motion (rarely)
For high speed applications – example, internal combustion engines
Objectives of this chapter:◦ Learn fundamental concepts and terminology◦ Learn how to design a cam and follower set to
achieve a desired output motion.

Examples for cam
In IC engines to operate the inlet and exhaust valves

Classification of camsa) Radial or disc cam b) Cylindrical cam c) End cam
![Page 10: CAM AND FOLLOWER](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013122/55d328c4bb61ebc0628b458f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
a) Radial or Disc cam
In radial cams, the follower
reciprocates or oscillates in a direction perpendicular to the cam axis.
![Page 11: CAM AND FOLLOWER](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013122/55d328c4bb61ebc0628b458f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
b) Cylindrical cams
In cylindrical cams, the follower reciprocates or oscillates in a direction parallel to the cams axis.

c) End cams
It is also similar to cylindrical cams, but the follower makes contact at periphery of the cam as shown in fig

Follower is the element to which the motion of cam is provided
i.e. Reciprocating or oscillating motion
WHAT IS FOLLOWER ?
![Page 14: CAM AND FOLLOWER](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013122/55d328c4bb61ebc0628b458f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Type of follower MotionUniform VelocityThe cam follower rises and falls at a constant speed. The start and stop of the follower is very abrupt and rough.
Modified Uniform VelocityThe modified uniform velocity motion smoothes out the roughness of the uniform velocity motion by adding a radius at the high and low points of the cam motion.

Type of follower MotionHarmonic MotionThe follower motion has a smooth start and stop but the speed is not uniform. This type of motion is used where the cam rotates at a very fast speed.
Uniform AccelerationThe uniform acceleration is the smoothest motion of all of the cams and causes the follower to maintain a constant speed throughout the cam travel.

Classification of followers1.According to the shape of follower Knife edge follower Roller follower Flat faced follower Spherical faced follower

a) Knife edge follower

b) Roller follower

2 According to the path of motion of followera) Radial follower b) Offset follower
![Page 22: CAM AND FOLLOWER](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013122/55d328c4bb61ebc0628b458f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
a) Radial follower
When the motion of the follower is along an axis passing through the centre of the cam, it is known as radial followers. Above figures are examples of this type.
![Page 23: CAM AND FOLLOWER](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013122/55d328c4bb61ebc0628b458f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
b) Offset follower
When the motion of the follower is along an axis away from the axis of the cam centre, it is called off-set follower. Above figures are examples of this type.

1. Reciprocating or Translating 2.Oscillating or Rotating
3.On the basis of motion of follower

CAM Nomenclature
Cam profile: The outer surface of the disc cam.
Base circle : The circle with the shortest radius from the cam center to any part of the cam profile.
Trace point: It is a point on the follower, and its motion describes the movement of the follower. It is used to generate the pitch curve.
![Page 26: CAM AND FOLLOWER](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013122/55d328c4bb61ebc0628b458f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CAM Nomenclature
Pitch curve : The path generated by the trace point as the follower is rotated about a stationery cam.
Prime circle: The smallest circle from the cam center through the pitch curve

CAM Nomenclature
Pressure angle: The angle between the direction of the follower movement and the normal to the pitch curve.
Pitch point: Pitch point corresponds to the point of maximum pressure angle.

CAM Nomenclature
Pitch circle: A circle drawn from the cam center and passes through the pitch point is called Pitch circle
Stroke: The greatest distance or angle through which the follower moves or rotates
