S DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF SPHERICAL FACED CAM FOLLOWER PROJECT MEMBERS A.VIJAYARAGAVAN(112) S.VISHNUVARDHAN(113) K.VIVEK(114) ARAVINTH(L2) PROJECT GUIDE: Mr.D.LOGANATHAN ASST.PROFESSOR
OBJECTIVE • To convert the rotary motion into reciprocating motion easily.
Definition of Cam • A cam is a rotating machine element which gives reciprocating or oscillating motion to another element known as follower. • The cam and the follower have a line contact and constitute a higher pair. • Three elements : • Driver member – CAM • Driven member – Follower • Frame – to support the cam and guide the follower
The type of follower based on the surface contact KNIFE EDGE FOLLOWER ROLLER FOLLOWER FLATFACED FOLLOWER SPHERICAL FACED FOLLOWER
DEFINITION • If we have spherical shape at follower contacting end, it is called spherical faced follower. This type is considered to be the modification of flat faced follower because in this type , high surface stresses are produced and these stresses are reduced in this type.
APPLICATION Internal combustion engine for operating valve Shoe making machines Sawing machine Punch press Paper cutting machine Fuel pump diesel engine
ADVANTAGES • Surface contact is high compared to other followers. • Efficiency is high.
