Description
The
displacement of an edge cam as it rotates through 360° is measured
using a dial gauge. The angular position of the cam is shown on a
graduated scale. A tangent cam with a 25mm diameter follower are
supplied as standard, and other cams and followers are available as
optional ancilliaries, as shown in the specifications.
A variety
of set ups is provided by a knife edge or roller follower in combination
with a tangent cam, a contant acceleration cam or a simple harmonic
motion cam.
A set of optional extras htm88j provides a flat
follower, lever and offset fittings and two more cams (one eccentrically
pivoted and one for uniform motion).
This equipment is part of a
range designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic
engineering principles. Great care has been given to each item so as to
provide wide experimental scope without unduly complicating or
compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and
compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with
the simplest possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement
is purely with the engineering principles being taught. A complete
instruction manual is provided describing the apparatus, its
application, experimental procedure and typical test results.
