Product Code:
SCI-EDU770002
Description:
Computerized Cam Analysis
Specification:
The Computerized Cam Analysis unit allows the dynamic investigation of a cam mechanism at various speeds.
Four typical cams with corresponding engaging members are compared in terms of their motion behavior.
The valve is simulated with a mass and a spring.
A recorder synchronized with the cam member records the actual elevation curve of the cam mechanism.
A speed-controlled drive motor with a large flywheel generates a speed as constant as possible.
The open design means that the motion is clearly visible in every detail.
The experimental unit is intended for demonstration in engineering education.
A transparent protective cover ensures safe operation.
It is not suitable to be used as a test bench in the field of endurance testing/tribology.
