Solved problems based on CAM Profiles

Solved problems based on CAM Profiles

Cam is a very important topic in the kinematics of machines or theory of machines. Here we are presenting some solved problems based on cam profiles. Although we checked the errors, but if you mark some error, let us known in the comment box.
(1) Draw the cam profile for following conditions:
Follower type = Knife edged, in-line; lift = 50mm; base circle radius = 50mm; out stroke with SHM, for 600 cam rotation; dwell for 450 cam rotation; return stroke with SHM, for 900 cam rotation; dwell for the remaining period. Determine max. velocity and acceleration during out stroke and return stroke if the cam rotates at 1000 rpm in clockwise direction.

Calculations:
Angular velocity of cam = clip_image006=104.76 rad/sec

Max. velocity of follower during outstroke = vomax = clip_image008=
clip_image010 =7857mm/sec =7.857m/sec
Similarly Max. velocity of follower during return stroke = , vrmax = clip_image012 =
clip_image014 = 5238mm/sec = 5.238m/sec

Max. acceleration during outstroke = aomax = rω2p (from d3) = clip_image016 =
clip_image018 2469297.96mm/sec2 = 2469.3m/sec2

Similarly, Max. acceleration during return stroke = armax = clip_image020 =
clip_image022 1097465.76mm/sec2 = 1097.5m/sec2




(2) Draw the cam profile for the same operating conditions of problem (1), with the follower off set by 10 mm to the left of cam center.
Displacement diagram: Same as previous case.

Cam profile: Construction is same as previous case, except that the lines drawn from 1,2,3…. are tangential to the offset circle of 10mm dia. as shown in the fig.

Cam profile: Construct base circle and prime circle (25mm radius). Mark points 1,2,3…..in direction opposite to the direction of cam rotation, on prime circle. Transfer points a,b,c…..l from displacement diagram. At each of these points a,b,c… draw circles of 5mm radius, representing rollers. Starting from the first point of contact between roller and base circle, draw a smooth free hand curve, tangential to all successive roller positions. This forms the required cam profile.

Calculations:
Angular velocity of the cam = clip_image030125.71rad/sec

Max. velocity during outstroke =clip_image032 =
clip_image0342999.9mm/sec =2.999m/sec

Max. velocity during return stroke = clip_image036
= 3999.86mm/sec = 3.999m/sec

Acceleration of the follower during outstroke = clip_image038 =
clip_image040359975mm/sec2 = 359.975m/sec2

Similarly acceleration of the follower during return stroke = clip_image042 =
clip_image044639956mm/sec2 = 639.956m/sec2

(5) Draw the cam profile for following conditions:
Follower type = roller follower, off set to the right of cam axis by 18mm; lift = 35mm; base circle radius = 50mm; roller radius = 14mm; out stroke with SHM in 0.05sec; dwell for 0.0125sec; return stroke with UARM, during 0.125sec; dwell for the remaining period. During return stroke, acceleration is 3/5 times retardation. Determine max. velocity and acceleration during out stroke and return stroke if the cam rotates at 240 rpm.
Calculations:
Cam speed = 240rpm. Therefore, time for one rotation = clip_image048
Angle of out stroke = clip_image050
Angle of first dwell = clip_image052
Angle of return stroke = clip_image054
Angle of second dwell = clip_image056
Since acceleration is 3/5 times retardation during return stroke,

Displacement diagram is constructed by selecting ta and tr accordingly.

Max. acceleration during outstroke = aomax = rω2p (from d3) = clip_image016[1] =
clip_image072 69127.14mm/sec2 = 69.13m/sec2

acceleration of the follower during return stroke = clip_image074 = 7166.37 mm/sec2 =7.17m/sec2

Cam profile: Draw base circle and prime circle. Draw another circle of radius equal to the distance between cam center and follower pivot point. Take the line joining cam center and pivot point as reference and draw lines indicating successive angular displacements of cam. Divide these into same number of divisions as in the displacement diagram. Show points 1’, 2’, 3’… on the outer circle. With these points as centers and radius equal to length of follower arm, draw arcs, cutting the prime circle at 1,2,3…. Transfer points a,b,c.. on to these arcs from displacement diagram. At each of these points a,b,c… draw circles of 7mm radius, representing rollers. Starting from the first point of contact between roller and base circle, draw a smooth free hand curve, tangential to all successive roller positions. This forms the required cam profile.
