Cam Mechanism- Engineering Lab Training Systems Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Cam Mechanism- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
Cam mechanisms are used in many areas
of technology, such as for valve control in combustion engines. The
simple experimental set-up permits quick demonstration of the action
principle, and can be used to demonstrate the influence of different cam
shapes. The cam follower can work either as a roller tappet, cup
tappet, or trailing lever. The stroke is measured using a mechanical
position measurement gauge. A scaled disk indicates the associated angle
of rotation.
The well-structured instructional material outlines
the fundamentals of cam theory and provides a step-by-step guide through
the experiments.
