Introduction
• A cam is a mechanical member used to impart desired motion to a follower by
direct contact.
• The cam may be rotating or reciprocating whereas the follower may be rotating,
reciprocating or oscillating.
• Complicated output motions which are otherwise difficult to achieve can easily be
produced with the help of cams.
• Cams are widely used in automatic machines, internal combustion engines,
machine tools, printing control mechanisms, and so on.
• They are manufactured usually by die-casting, milling or by punch-presses.
• A cam and the follower combination belong to the category of higher pairs.
• Necessary elements of a cam mechanism are
– A driver member known as the cam
– A driven member called the follower
– A frame which supports the cam and guides the follower

TYPES OF CAMS
• Cams are classified according to
1. shape,
2. follower movement, and
3. manner of constraint of the follower.

6
I. According to Shape
1) Wedge and Flat Cams
• A wedge cam has a wedge W which, in general, has a
translational motion.
• The follower F can either translate [Fig.(a)] or oscillate [Fig.(b)].
• A spring is, usually, used to maintain the contact between the
cam and the follower.
• In Fig.(c), the cam is stationary and the follower constraint or
guide G causes the relative motion of the cam and the follower.

2. Radial or Disc Cams
• A cam in which the follower moves radially from
the centre of rotation of the cam is known as a
radial or a disc cam (Fig. (a) and (b)].
• Radial cams are very popular due to their simplicity
and compactness.

3. Spiral Cams
•

•
•

•

A spiral cam is a face cam in which a
groove is cut in the form of a spiral as
shown in Fig.
The spiral groove consists of teeth
which mesh with a pin gear follower.
The velocity of the follower is
proportional to the radial distance of
the groove from the axis of the cam.
The use of such a cam is limited as the
cam has to reverse the direction to
reset the position of the follower. It
finds its use in computers.

4. Cylindrical Cams
• In a cylindrical cam, a cylinder which has a circumferential contour cut in the
surface, rotates about its axis.
• The follower motion can be of two types as follows: In the first type, a groove is cut
on the surface of the cam and a roller follower has a constrained (or positive)
oscillating motion [Fig.(a)].
• Another type is an end cam in which the end of the cylinder is the working surface
(b).
• A spring-loaded follower translates along or parallel to the axis of the rotating
cylinder.

10
5. Conjugate Cams
• A conjugate cam is a double-disc cam, the two discs being keyed
together and are in constant touch with the two rollers of a follower
(shown in Fig.).
• Thus, the follower has a positive constraint.
• Such a type of cam is preferred when the requirements are low wear,
low noise, better control of the follower, high speed, high dynamic
loads, etc.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

11
6. Globoidal Cams
• A globoidal cam can have two types of surfaces, convex or
concave.
• A circumferential contour is cut on the surface of rotation of
the cam to impart motion to the follower which has an
oscillatory motion (Fig.).
• The application of such cams is limited to moderate speeds
and where the angle of oscillation of the follower is large.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

12
7. Spherical Cams
• In a spherical cam, the follower oscillates about an axis
perpendicular to the axis surface of rotation of the cam.
• Note that in a disc cam, the follower oscillates about an axis
parallel to the axis of rotation of the cam.
• A spherical cam is in the form of a spherical surface which
transmits motion to the follower (Fig.).

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

13
II. According to Follower Movement
• The motions of the followers are distinguished from
each other by the dwells they have.
• A dwell is the zero displacement or the absence of
motion of the follower during the motion of the
cam.
• Cams are classified according to the motions of the
followers in the following ways:

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

14
1. Rise-Return-Rise (R-R-R)
•

•
•

In this, there is alternate rise and return
of the follower with no periods of dwells
(Fig. a).
Its use is very limited in the industry.
The follower has a linear or an angular
displacement.

2. Dwell-Rise-Return-Dwell (D-R-R-D)
•
•

In such a type of cam, there is rise and
return of the follower after a dwell Fig.(b).
his type is used more frequently than the
R-R-R type of cam.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

15
3. Dwell-Rise-Dwell-Return-Dwell
(D-R-D-R-D)
• It is the most widely used type of
cam.
• The dwelling of the cam is followed
by rise and dwell and subsequently
by return and dwell as shown in
rig. (c).
• In case the return of the follower is
by a fall [Fig.(d)], the motion may
be known as Dwell-Rise-Dwell (DR-D).

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

16
III. According to Manner of Constraint of the Follower
• To reproduce exactly the motion transmitted by the cam to the follower, it
is necessary that the two remain in touch at all speeds and at all times.
• The cams can be classified according to the manner in which this is
achieved.
1. Pre-loaded Spring Cam
A pre-loaded compression spring is used for the purpose of keeping the
contact between the cam and the follower.
2. Positive-drive Cam
In this type, constant touch between the cam and the follower is
maintained by a roller follower operating in the groove of a cam.
The follower cannot go out of this groove under the normal working
operations.
A constrained or positive drive is also obtained by the use of a conjugate
cam
3. Gravity Cam
If the rise of the cam is achieved by the rising surface of the cam and the
return by the force of gravity or due to the weight of the cam, the cam is
known as a gravity cam.
However, these cams are not preferred due to their uncertain behavior.

Classification of Followers
1.
a)

•
•
•

According to the surface in contact.
Knife edge follower.
When the contacting end of the follower has a sharp knife edge, it is called a knife
edge follower, as shown in Fig.(a).
The sliding motion takes place between the contacting surfaces (i.e. the knife
edge and the cam surface).
It is seldom used in practice because the small area of contacting surface results
in excessive wear.
In knife edge followers, a considerable side thrust exists between the follower
and the guide.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

18
(b) Roller follower.
• When the contacting end of the follower is a roller, it is called a roller follower, as
shown in Fig. (b).
• Since the rolling motion takes place between the contacting surfaces (i.e. the roller
and the cam), therefore the rate of wear is greatly reduced.
• In roller followers also the side thrust exists between the follower and the guide.
• The roller followers are extensively used where more space is available such as in
stationary gas and oil engines and aircraft engines.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

19
(c) Flat faced or mushroom follower.
• When the contacting end of the follower is a perfectly flat face, it is called a flatfaced follower, as shown in Fig. 20.1 (c).
• It may be noted that the side thrust between the follower and the guide is much
reduced in case of flat faced followers.
• The only side thrust is due to friction between the contact surfaces of the follower
and the cam.
•The flat faced followers are generally used
where space is limited such as in cams which
operate the valves of automobile engines.
•Note : When the flat faced follower is
circular, it is then called a mushroom
follower.

20
C) Flat faced or mushroom follower.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

21
(d) Spherical faced follower.
• When the contacting end of the follower is of spherical shape, it is called a spherical
faced follower, as shown in Fig. (d).
• It may be noted that when a flat-faced follower is used in automobile engines, high
surface stresses are produced.
• In order to minimise these stresses, the flat end of the follower is machined to a
spherical shape.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

22
2. According to the motion of the follower
(a) Reciprocating or translating follower.
• When the follower reciprocates in guides as the cam rotates uniformly, it is known
as reciprocating or translating follower.
• The followers as shown in Fig. (a) to (d) are all reciprocating or translating
followers.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

23
(b) Oscillating or rotating follower.
• When the uniform rotary motion of the cam is converted into predetermined
oscillatory motion of the follower, it is called oscillating or rotating follower.
• The follower, as shown in (e), is an oscillating or rotating follower.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

24
3. According to the path of motion of the follower.
(a) Radial follower. When the motion of the follower is along an axis passing through
the centre of the cam, it is known as radial follower.
The followers, as shown in Fig. (a)
to (c), are all radial followers.

(b) Off-set follower.
• When the motion of the follower is along an axis away from the axis of the cam
centre, it is called off-set follower. The follower, as shown in Fig. ( f ), is an off-set
follower.

28
Terms Used in Radial Cams
• Fig. shows a radial cam with reciprocating roller follower. The following terms are
important in order to draw the cam profile.
1. Base circle. It is the smallest circle that can be drawn to the cam profile.
2. Trace point. It is a reference point on the follower and is used to generate the pitch
curve. In case of knife edge follower, the knife edge represents the trace point and
the pitch curve corresponds to the cam profile. In a roller follower, the centre of
the roller represents the trace point.

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

29
Terms Used in Radial Cams
3. Pressure angle. It is the angle between the direction of the follower motion
and a normal to the pitch curve. This angle is very important in designing a
cam profile. If the pressure angle is too large, a reciprocating follower will
jam in its bearings.
4. Pitch point. It is a point on the pitch curve having the maximum pressure
angle.
5. Pitch circle. It is a circle drawn
from the centre of the cam
through the pitch points.
6. Pitch curve. It is the curve
generated by the trace point as
the follower moves relative to
the cam. For a knife edge
follower, the pitch curve and the
cam profile are same whereas
for a roller follower, they are
separated by the radius of the

roller.

30
Terms Used in Radial Cams
7. Prime circle. It is the smallest circle that can be drawn from the centre of the cam
and tangent to the pitch curve. For a knife edge and a flat face follower, the prime
circle and the base circle are identical. For a roller follower, the prime circle is larger
than the base circle by the radius of the roller.
8. Lift or stroke. It is the maximum travel of the follower from its lowest position to the
topmost position.

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

31
Motion of the Follower
• The follower, during its travel, may have one of the
following motions.
– Uniform velocity
– Simple harmonic motion
– Uniform acceleration and retardation
– Cycloidal motion

1/27/2014

Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78

32
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration Diagrams when the
Follower Moves with Uniform Velocity
• The displacement, velocity and acceleration diagrams when a knife-edged follower
moves with uniform velocity are shown in Fig. (a), (b) and (c) respectively.
• The abscissa (base) represents the time (i.e. the number of seconds required for the
cam to complete one revolution) or it may represent the angular displacement of
the cam in degrees. The ordinate represents the displacement, or velocity or
acceleration of the follower.

  • 2. Syllabus UNIT 8: • Cams: Types of cams, Types of followers. Displacement, Velocity and, Acceleration time curves for cam profiles. • Disc cam with reciprocating follower having knifeedge, roller and flat-face follower • Disc cam with oscillating roller follower. • Follower motions including SHM, Uniform velocity, uniform acceleration and retardation and Cycloidal motion. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 2
  • 3. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 3
  • 4. Examples for cam • In IC engines to operate the inlet and exhaust valves 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 4
  • 5. Introduction • A cam is a mechanical member used to impart desired motion to a follower by direct contact. • The cam may be rotating or reciprocating whereas the follower may be rotating, reciprocating or oscillating. • Complicated output motions which are otherwise difficult to achieve can easily be produced with the help of cams. • Cams are widely used in automatic machines, internal combustion engines, machine tools, printing control mechanisms, and so on. • They are manufactured usually by die-casting, milling or by punch-presses. • A cam and the follower combination belong to the category of higher pairs. • Necessary elements of a cam mechanism are – A driver member known as the cam – A driven member called the follower – A frame which supports the cam and guides the follower 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 5
  • 6. TYPES OF CAMS • Cams are classified according to 1. shape, 2. follower movement, and 3. manner of constraint of the follower. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 6
  • 7. I. According to Shape 1) Wedge and Flat Cams • A wedge cam has a wedge W which, in general, has a translational motion. • The follower F can either translate [Fig.(a)] or oscillate [Fig.(b)]. • A spring is, usually, used to maintain the contact between the cam and the follower. • In Fig.(c), the cam is stationary and the follower constraint or guide G causes the relative motion of the cam and the follower. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 7
  • 8. 2. Radial or Disc Cams • A cam in which the follower moves radially from the centre of rotation of the cam is known as a radial or a disc cam (Fig. (a) and (b)]. • Radial cams are very popular due to their simplicity and compactness. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 8
  • 9. 3. Spiral Cams • • • • A spiral cam is a face cam in which a groove is cut in the form of a spiral as shown in Fig. The spiral groove consists of teeth which mesh with a pin gear follower. The velocity of the follower is proportional to the radial distance of the groove from the axis of the cam. The use of such a cam is limited as the cam has to reverse the direction to reset the position of the follower. It finds its use in computers. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 9
  • 10. 4. Cylindrical Cams • In a cylindrical cam, a cylinder which has a circumferential contour cut in the surface, rotates about its axis. • The follower motion can be of two types as follows: In the first type, a groove is cut on the surface of the cam and a roller follower has a constrained (or positive) oscillating motion [Fig.(a)]. • Another type is an end cam in which the end of the cylinder is the working surface (b). • A spring-loaded follower translates along or parallel to the axis of the rotating cylinder. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 10
  • 11. 5. Conjugate Cams • A conjugate cam is a double-disc cam, the two discs being keyed together and are in constant touch with the two rollers of a follower (shown in Fig.). • Thus, the follower has a positive constraint. • Such a type of cam is preferred when the requirements are low wear, low noise, better control of the follower, high speed, high dynamic loads, etc. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 11
  • 12. 6. Globoidal Cams • A globoidal cam can have two types of surfaces, convex or concave. • A circumferential contour is cut on the surface of rotation of the cam to impart motion to the follower which has an oscillatory motion (Fig.). • The application of such cams is limited to moderate speeds and where the angle of oscillation of the follower is large. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 12
  • 13. 7. Spherical Cams • In a spherical cam, the follower oscillates about an axis perpendicular to the axis surface of rotation of the cam. • Note that in a disc cam, the follower oscillates about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the cam. • A spherical cam is in the form of a spherical surface which transmits motion to the follower (Fig.). 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 13
  • 14. II. According to Follower Movement • The motions of the followers are distinguished from each other by the dwells they have. • A dwell is the zero displacement or the absence of motion of the follower during the motion of the cam. • Cams are classified according to the motions of the followers in the following ways: 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 14
  • 15. 1. Rise-Return-Rise (R-R-R) • • • In this, there is alternate rise and return of the follower with no periods of dwells (Fig. a). Its use is very limited in the industry. The follower has a linear or an angular displacement. 2. Dwell-Rise-Return-Dwell (D-R-R-D) • • In such a type of cam, there is rise and return of the follower after a dwell Fig.(b). his type is used more frequently than the R-R-R type of cam. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 15
  • 16. 3. Dwell-Rise-Dwell-Return-Dwell (D-R-D-R-D) • It is the most widely used type of cam. • The dwelling of the cam is followed by rise and dwell and subsequently by return and dwell as shown in rig. (c). • In case the return of the follower is by a fall [Fig.(d)], the motion may be known as Dwell-Rise-Dwell (DR-D). 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 16
  • 17. III. According to Manner of Constraint of the Follower • To reproduce exactly the motion transmitted by the cam to the follower, it is necessary that the two remain in touch at all speeds and at all times. • The cams can be classified according to the manner in which this is achieved. 1. Pre-loaded Spring Cam A pre-loaded compression spring is used for the purpose of keeping the contact between the cam and the follower. 2. Positive-drive Cam In this type, constant touch between the cam and the follower is maintained by a roller follower operating in the groove of a cam. The follower cannot go out of this groove under the normal working operations. A constrained or positive drive is also obtained by the use of a conjugate cam 3. Gravity Cam If the rise of the cam is achieved by the rising surface of the cam and the return by the force of gravity or due to the weight of the cam, the cam is known as a gravity cam. However, these cams are not preferred due to their uncertain behavior. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 17
  • 18. Classification of Followers 1. a) • • • According to the surface in contact. Knife edge follower. When the contacting end of the follower has a sharp knife edge, it is called a knife edge follower, as shown in Fig.(a). The sliding motion takes place between the contacting surfaces (i.e. the knife edge and the cam surface). It is seldom used in practice because the small area of contacting surface results in excessive wear. In knife edge followers, a considerable side thrust exists between the follower and the guide. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 18
  • 19. (b) Roller follower. • When the contacting end of the follower is a roller, it is called a roller follower, as shown in Fig. (b). • Since the rolling motion takes place between the contacting surfaces (i.e. the roller and the cam), therefore the rate of wear is greatly reduced. • In roller followers also the side thrust exists between the follower and the guide. • The roller followers are extensively used where more space is available such as in stationary gas and oil engines and aircraft engines. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 19
  • 20. (c) Flat faced or mushroom follower. • When the contacting end of the follower is a perfectly flat face, it is called a flatfaced follower, as shown in Fig. 20.1 (c). • It may be noted that the side thrust between the follower and the guide is much reduced in case of flat faced followers. • The only side thrust is due to friction between the contact surfaces of the follower and the cam. •The flat faced followers are generally used where space is limited such as in cams which operate the valves of automobile engines. •Note : When the flat faced follower is circular, it is then called a mushroom follower. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 20
  • 21. C) Flat faced or mushroom follower. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 21
  • 22. (d) Spherical faced follower. • When the contacting end of the follower is of spherical shape, it is called a spherical faced follower, as shown in Fig. (d). • It may be noted that when a flat-faced follower is used in automobile engines, high surface stresses are produced. • In order to minimise these stresses, the flat end of the follower is machined to a spherical shape. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 22
  • 23. 2. According to the motion of the follower (a) Reciprocating or translating follower. • When the follower reciprocates in guides as the cam rotates uniformly, it is known as reciprocating or translating follower. • The followers as shown in Fig. (a) to (d) are all reciprocating or translating followers. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 23
  • 24. (b) Oscillating or rotating follower. • When the uniform rotary motion of the cam is converted into predetermined oscillatory motion of the follower, it is called oscillating or rotating follower. • The follower, as shown in (e), is an oscillating or rotating follower. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 24
  • 25. 3. According to the path of motion of the follower. (a) Radial follower. When the motion of the follower is along an axis passing through the centre of the cam, it is known as radial follower. The followers, as shown in Fig. (a) to (c), are all radial followers. (b) Off-set follower. • When the motion of the follower is along an axis away from the axis of the cam centre, it is called off-set follower. The follower, as shown in Fig. ( f ), is an off-set follower. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 25

  • 29. Terms Used in Radial Cams • Fig. shows a radial cam with reciprocating roller follower. The following terms are important in order to draw the cam profile. 1. Base circle. It is the smallest circle that can be drawn to the cam profile. 2. Trace point. It is a reference point on the follower and is used to generate the pitch curve. In case of knife edge follower, the knife edge represents the trace point and the pitch curve corresponds to the cam profile. In a roller follower, the centre of the roller represents the trace point. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 29
  • 30. Terms Used in Radial Cams 3. Pressure angle. It is the angle between the direction of the follower motion and a normal to the pitch curve. This angle is very important in designing a cam profile. If the pressure angle is too large, a reciprocating follower will jam in its bearings. 4. Pitch point. It is a point on the pitch curve having the maximum pressure angle. 5. Pitch circle. It is a circle drawn from the centre of the cam through the pitch points. 6. Pitch curve. It is the curve generated by the trace point as the follower moves relative to the cam. For a knife edge follower, the pitch curve and the cam profile are same whereas for a roller follower, they are separated by the radius of the 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 roller. 30
  • 31. Terms Used in Radial Cams 7. Prime circle. It is the smallest circle that can be drawn from the centre of the cam and tangent to the pitch curve. For a knife edge and a flat face follower, the prime circle and the base circle are identical. For a roller follower, the prime circle is larger than the base circle by the radius of the roller. 8. Lift or stroke. It is the maximum travel of the follower from its lowest position to the topmost position. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 31
  • 32. Motion of the Follower • The follower, during its travel, may have one of the following motions. – Uniform velocity – Simple harmonic motion – Uniform acceleration and retardation – Cycloidal motion 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 32
  • 33. Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration Diagrams when the Follower Moves with Uniform Velocity • The displacement, velocity and acceleration diagrams when a knife-edged follower moves with uniform velocity are shown in Fig. (a), (b) and (c) respectively. • The abscissa (base) represents the time (i.e. the number of seconds required for the cam to complete one revolution) or it may represent the angular displacement of the cam in degrees. The ordinate represents the displacement, or velocity or acceleration of the follower. 1/27/2014 Hareesha N G, Asst. Prof, DSCE, BLore-78 33
