Hardcover

ISBN 10: 0831131225 ISBN 13: 9780831131227

Publisher: Industrial Press, Inc., 2001

Beginning at an introductory level and progressing to more advanced topics, this comprehensive handbook provides all the information needed to properly design, model, analyze, specify, and manufacture cam-follower systems. The reader will find complete coverage of:

Proper Cam Design Techniques
Single- and Multi-Dwell Cams
Classical Cam Functions
Polynomial Cams
Spline Functions for Cams
Pressure Angle & Radius of Curvature
Radial and Barrel Cams
Translating & Oscillating Followers
Roller & Flat-Faced Followers
Forward & Inverse Dynamic Analyses
Residual Vibrations
Polydyne & Splinedyne Cams
Cam Profile Definition
Cutter Compensation
Conjugate Cams
Cam Materials & Manufacturing Techniques
Stress Analysis of the Cam Follower Joint
Lubrication of the Cam Follower Joint
Measurement of Cam Follower Dynamics
Extensive Bibliography of the Cam Literature
Case Studies of Cam Designs
Cam and Linkage Design Programs on CD-ROM

Additionally, this unique book is accompanied by a 90-day trial demonstration copy of the Professional Version of Dynacam for Windows V. 7.0. Written by the author and used worldwide, this program solves the equations described in the book and allows in its fully licensed version the design, dynamic modeling, analysis, and generation of follower center, cam surface, and cutter coordinate data for any cam. It also defines conjugate cams for any application.

Also included are 90-day trial demonstration copies of programs Fourbar, Sixbar, and Slider for the design of cam-follower linkages.

About the Author:

Robert L Norton P.E. has over 40 years experience in the practice and teaching of mechanical engineering. He has undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering and industrial technology from Northeastern University in Boston, and a M. S. in engineering design from Tufts University in Medford, MA. Having first encountered and designed cams for camera mechanisms in 1960 at Polaroid Corporation, Norton has spent many years designing and analyzing cam-follower systems at Polaroid, Gillette, and many other companies through his consulting practice. He has taught kinematics, dynamics, stress analysis, and machine design to mechanical engineering students for more than 30 years at Northeastern, Tufts, and at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA., where he is currently Professor of Mechanical Engineering and head of the design program in the Mechanical Engineering Department. Additionally, Norton has published many technical papers in the literature and holds! 13 U.S. patents. He is a member of SAE and a Fellow of the ASME.
