Product Description
Cam Design and Manufacturing Handbook, Second Edition
Robert L Norton
Overview
Painstakingly revised, the second edition of Cam Design and Manufacturing Handbook brings together the latest cam design technology, proper cam design and manufacturing procedures, and recent cam research results in one volume that is indispensable to the design and manufacturing of cam-follower systems.
Among the new coverage you will find: a treatment of shape-preserving spines for valve cams, equations for calculation of 3-D globoidal cams, multi-DOF cam-follower system models, equations for the calculation of compensation cams that completely cancel inertial torque on a camshaft, and equations to model the deliberate impact of a cam follower against a valve seat or a hard-stop.
Covering both introductory and more advanced topics in depth, this comprehensive handbook provides all the information you need to properly design, model, analyze, specify, and manufacture cam-follower systems, including:
Proper Cam Design Techniques
Polydyne & Splinedyne Cams
Single- and Multi-Dwell Cams
Cam Profile Definition
Classical Cam Functions
Cutter Compensation
Polynomial Cams
Conjugate Cams
Spline Functions for Cams
Cam Materials & Manufacturing Techniques
Pressure Angle & Radius of Curvature
Stress Analysis of the Cam-Follower Joint
Radial, Barrel and Linear Cams
Lubrication of the Cam-Follower Joint
Translating & Oscillating Followers
Measurement of Cam-Follower Dynamics
Roller & Flat-Faced Followers
Forward & Inverse Dynamic Analyses
Residual Vibrations
Case Studies of Cam Designs
An Extensive Bibliography of the Cam Literature
