SPECIFICATION

To determine follower displacement against angular rotation of acam; hence derive velocity and acceleration diagrams and determine the maximum acceleration of the follower; for a variety of cams and followers. Bench mounted unit consisting of main spindle for each cam and a dial gauge. Each cam is mounted on a central shaft and is free to rotate about this shaft. The cams are rotated by hand. The angular position of the cam is shown on a protractor and a pointer, It allows the cams position through rotation to be recorded. 
A set of cams are supplied as standard along with a set of followers which run on the
perimeter of each cam. Each cam can be easily changed and the angular and dial gauge readings are clear.
Consists of:

  • Simple Harmonic Motion Cam, Uniform Motion Cam, Constant Acceleration Cam, Tangent Cam, Eccentric Cam
  • Roller and knife-edge
  • Dial gauge: 25mm range, 0.01mm resolution 60mm diameter reading face.
  • Angular protractor scale with 360º range and 1º resolution Supplied with instruction manual for instructor and student, and all necessary assembly and operational tools for full operation
