Cam Types Plate cam with translating roller follower
Cam Types Translating or wedge cam with translating follower
Cam Types Cylindrical cam with translating roller follower
Cam Types Face cam with oscillating follower
Translating Followers (a) Flat-faced (b) Roller (c) Point
Oscillating Followers Flat-Faced Roller Spherical-Face
Cam Design • We specify cams in terms of the required motion of the follower: • critical path motion • critical extreme position • Want to specify follower displacement to provide continuous velocity and acceleration - finite jerk • Once follower displacement specified, choose follower geometry and design cam profile
Critical Path Motion • Draw displacement profile through required points • Difficult to ensure smooth operation
Critical Extreme Position • Only critical points specified (eg., maximum lift) • Must specify actual displacement profile to provide continuous velocity and acceleration and finite jerk
Constant Velocity Profile Simple design and analysis But, horrible dynamic performance
Parabolic Displacement Profile Constant Acceleration Equations for first half of rise: But, infinite jerk
Cycloidal Motion C is determined by setting the maximum displacement equal to L:
Other Profiles Modified Trapezoidal Profile:
Cycloidal Profiles: Rise: C-1 + C-2 = C-5 Fall: C-3 + C-4 = C-6
