PROCEDURE

1. sRemove the knurled nut 24 and mount the circular cam 1 as shown in figure 11.
2. Attention to the front and rear view position of the cam as the cam guiding rod bore hole is
situated on the rear of the cam.
3. Loosen the fixing screw 23 with the provided Allan key and insert the flat tappet follower.
Apply a thin film of grease to the flat tappet.
4. The washer between the follower and tappet must be reinstalled in the same position during
assembly.
5.
6. Take one sheet of wax-coated paper. Do not bend the paper or insert it with its recording
side facing down, hold the paper by its edges with your fingertips. Handle the wax-coated
paper with care as its surface is very sensitive to scratches. Fold the narrow edge of
the paper 10 12 mm back
7. From the graph obtained in the experiment, use it to draw a displacement diagram.
8. Connect the motor to the control unit.
9. Set the speed to 110 RPM.
10. Compare the calculated value with the measured results and prove that: given the same
stroke and opening angle.
11. Using the designated set of formulae for each type of cam, draw a graph representing the
velocity against the rotation angle. Choose an increment of 10
0
for the rotation angle.

THEORY OF MACHINE EXPERIMENT (1-B & 2-B)
As it is seen from the graph the maximum lift of the graph occurs at 60
0
which it is rotating at
an angular velocity of 350RPM. The maximum lift value occurred at 34.5mm to the carbon
paper then I had to divide it by 2.23 to get a maximum lift of 15.4mm.


DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSSION

I obtained the graphs by using the formulae for curve flank cam by taking into consideration the
flank calculations and nose calculation. The results that I have obtained gave me similar graphs of
displacement, velocity and acceleration as illustrated from the theory of machines textbook. The
calculated values they have good similarity with the values obtain during the experiment.

The comparison of the two graphs is that the smooth graph reaches 15mm at 70
0
while the rough
graph reaches it in an angle of 60
0
to the rotational. The objective of the experiment was
successfully carried out, the comparison of the calculated values are more identical to the values
obtained during the experiment.
