8 Cam design Introduction Easier to design to give a specific output function than a linkage. Much more difficult and expensive to make than a linkage. Type of motion constraints Critical extreme position (CEP) the design specifications define the start and finish positions of the follower. Critical path motion (CPM) constrain output function for follower Notation θ: camshaft angle ω: camshaft angle velocity. Rb, Base circle Rp, Prime circle Rf ,Roller follower Cam surface Pitch curve ε: eccentricity of cam-follower s: follower displacement 8.2 s, v, a, j diagrams Constant velocity Acceleration ∞ Jerk ∞2 The function law of cam design The cam function must be continuous through the first and second derivatives of displacement . The jerk function must be finite. Simple harmonic motion An eccentric cam (s = a cos(ωt )) Cycloidal displacement Polynomial functions Polynomial functions 4-5-6-7 polynomial displacement Constant acceleration For the fall, the follower motion s 8.3 Double-dwell cam – choosing s v a j functions Constant velocity motion-example 8-1, a bad choice. Constant acceleration motion is a bad design. Simple harmonic displacement is also not good design. Cycloidal displacement is an acceptable cam. 3-4-5 polynomial displacement, is an acceptable cam. Combined function Trapezoidal acceleration. Very discontinuous jerk function. Modified Trapezoidal acceleration Modified trapezoidal acceleration s a v j plots for modified trapezoidal acceleration Modified sinusoidal acceleration Comparison of five double-dwell cam acceleration function Comparison of five double-dwell cam jerk function Comparison of five double-dwell cam velocity function 8.4 Single-dwell cam design—choosing s v a j functions Double harmonic motion for single dwell 3-4-5-6 polynomial functionfor single dwell 8.6 Critical path motion (CPM)generally need for constant velocity motion Example 8-9 Design a polynomial for constant velocity Crit
