Cam Analysis Apparatus
Product Code : EL-TOML-11023
The Cam Analysis Apparatus from Lab Exports is designed to study cam profiles and the performance of cam and follower systems. It consists of a shaft supported by ball bearings on which three different cam types — eccentric, tangent and circular arc — can be mounted, along with three follower types — mushroom, flat-faced and roller — that adapt to the vertically supported push rod. Cams and followers can be easily changed and are hardened to reduce surface wear. A variable speed motor rotates the cam, and a dial gauge permits plotting of follower displacement against cam position, allowing jump speed to be determined at different operating speeds. Lab Exports manufactures and exports this engineering lab apparatus from India to colleges and technical institutions worldwide.
