Cam And Tappet Experiment
Take a pencil and a book to do an experiment as shown above.
Cam and tappet experiment. Wear tests on the cam and tappet 4 1. Statement of purpose objective. Theory introduction cams are widely used in engine machine tools textile and packaging machines. Investigate tappet motion for several different cam profiles and to see the effect of different followers.
As the cam rotates the follower rises and falls in a. Their purpose is to convert rotary motion. Cams are used to convert rotary to linear reciprocating motion. Figure 6 1 simple cam experiment.
The jerk for this cam is therefore zero. When you move the book smoothly upward what happens to the pencil. Data observation and results. The plot for the harmonic cam is in the form of a cosine wave.
It is possible to run solid flat tappets on a hydraulic flat tappet cam and even mechanical roller lifters on a hydraulic roller cam. Apparatus and specimens experiments were conducted on the sliding wear testing machine commonly used for evaluating the wear resistances of cam and tappet. Make the book an inclined plane and use the pencil as a slider use your hand as a guide. Data for convex cam.
Putting solid lifters on a hydraulic cam will gain about 500. The objective of the experiment is to. 6 1 1 a simple experiment. A cam and follower mechanism is a profiled shape mounted on a shaft that causes a lever or follower to move.
It will be pushed up along the guide.
