    This document describes an experiment to plot follower displacement versus cam rotation angle curves for different cam-follower pairs using a cam analysis apparatus. The apparatus allows changing the cam, follower, follower displacement measurement, cam rotation speed, and application of a controlling force. The experimental procedure involves fixing a cam-follower assembly, measuring the follower displacement at various cam rotation angles, and plotting the resulting n-θ curve. Maintaining lubrication, tight fittings, and a clean apparatus are advised.

    Experiment No.

    Aim: To plot the n - θ (follower displacement Vs angle of cam rotation) curves for different cam follower
    pairs.

    Description:
    The shaft runs in a double bail bearing. At the end of the cam shaft a cam can be easily mounted. As the
    follower is properly guided in gun – metal bushes and the type of the fo
    follower can be changed to suit the cam
    under test. A graduated circular protractor is fitted coaxial with the shaft and a dial gauge can be fitted to
    note the follower displacement for the angle of cam rotation. A spring is used to provide controlling force to
    the system. Weights on the follower rod can be adjusted as per the requirements. An arrangement is provided
    to vary the speed of cam shaft. The machine is particularly very useful for testing the cam performance for
    jump phenomenon during operation. Th The machine clearly shows the effects of change of inertia forces on
    jump action of cam follower during the operation.
    Experimental Procedure:

    o Fix the required cam & follower assembly on the apparatus.


    o Fix the dial gauge at top of follower shaft to get the follower
    o displacement. To find out the angular displacement, rotate the cam manually.
    o Note the angular displacement of cam and vertical displacement of the follower with the help of
    protractor & dial gauge respectively.
    pectively.
    o Draw the n - θ (follower displacement Vs rotation of cam) curve.

    Precautions & Maintenance Instructions: -


    o Always lubricate the cam before starting the apparatus.
    o Tighten all the nuts properly before starting the apparatus.
    o Do not increases speed of the motor at once.
    o Always keep apparatus free from dust.

    Trouble Shooting: -
    o The main light is not on check the main light.
    o If the motor is not working check the rotary switch & dimmer state.
