Motions of Cam • Rise (R): One direction of output motion for a given period of input motion • Fall (F): The opposite direction of rise for a period of input motion • Dwell (D): No output motion for a specified period of input motion • Combination of the motions: RDFD, RFD, RF
Fundamental Law of Cam Design • The cam function must be continuous through the first and second derivatives of displacement across the entire interval (360 degrees). • Corollary: The jerk function must be finite across the entire interval.

Non-Traditional Use of Cam Discussion: How do you design this mechanism?

Multi-Stop Rotary Indexer • http://youtu.be/zb17XfDmrrM • http://youtu.be/uO6j0Pvfi6Q • Watch the videos above and see how many motion transferring mechanisms you can find and how many indexing mechanisms you can find.

Discussion • http://youtu.be/LEAqLu6gqVA Given the filling, plugging, and capping machine shown in the video. Discuss what kind of mechanisms are used. If you are designing the same machine, what will you use?
Design of Cam • Always have continuous s, v, a • Draw s, v, a, j diagrams to help design • Consider 4-bar links, hydraulics and pneumatics as options. • More cam designs are replaced by computer based control.
Homework (Due Dec. 5) • Make a short (< 5min) video explaining the mechanism of a push pen or a flip/slide phone. • By project group • You can use any tool for presentation • Oral explanation • Reverse engineering • Hand sketch • Solidworks drawing • Animation • Etc. • Upload to Youtube or your choice of video service and send me a link.
