What are cams?
![Page 3: Cams and Cam Followers](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/5474d3f8b4af9f9e388b4576/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What are cams?Cams convert rotary
oscillating or linear motion into a linear or
reciprocating action to carry out useful work.

Types of camsPlate cam
Sometimes called a disc, radial or edge cam.
Made up of a flat plate or disc with an edge profile to
transmit motion.

Types of cams Cylindrical cam
Sometimes called a barrel cam. It’s curved surface has a
groove machined, within which a follower is contained. The movement is parallel to
cam axis.

Types of camsFace cam
In its flat surface, this rotary cam has a groove cut within which a constrained follower
moves. The groove ensures no need for a return spring.

-Types of camsEnd cam
In this case the end of the cylindrical cam has the profile
machined on the end.

Types of cam follower
Wedge or Knife typeThis has the advantage that it can
follow complicated profiles. However, it is not often used as it
wears rapidly, due to the high frictional forces. It can also track
profiles in both directions.

Types of cam follower
RollerThis has the advantage that wear is minimised, due to the roller action.
However, the profile of the cam and roller radius must not conflict. If the profile is smaller than the radius of the roller then the roller will follow the incorrect path.

Types of cam follower
Flat endedThis cannot be used for concave profiles. It wears slower than a knife-edge follower, since the
points of contact move across the surface of the follower. These are often offset and allowed to spin.

Questions•List three applications of different types
of cams.
•What could be used today instead of cams? (Think of CNC machines.)
•What materials could be used for cams?You have 10 min’s.
Discuss between yourselves

The cam motion or profile
![Page 26: Cams and Cam Followers](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/5474d3f8b4af9f9e388b4576/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The cam motion or profile
The motion of the cam follower depends upon the profile or shape of the cam. Therefore the profile determines the resultant action.
Cams are expensive to make and therefore the cam follower is
normally sacrificial - allowed to wear.

LETS DRAW A PROFILE!

LETS DRAW A PROFILE!
Draw a cam displacement diagram for the following cam:
This cam needs to rise for 50 mm and fall 50mm due to uniform velocity.

LETS DRAW A PROFILE!
Draw a cam displacement diagram for the following cam:
This cam needs to rise for 50 mm and fall 50mm due to uniform velocity.
Repeat this cam but rise due to SHM and fall using uniform acceleration and retardation
