The GUNT Cam Mechanism trainer provides a clear, hands-on demonstration of how cam mechanisms convert uniform rotary motion into non-uniform translational motion. By using different cam profiles and engaging members, students can explore the fundamental principles of cam-based motion control in mechanical systems.
Product Features
- Cam mechanisms are non-uniform translatable gears that convert uniform rotary motion into non-uniform drive motion.
- Mechanism typically includes cams, engaging members, and a frame to guide motion.
- Motion path is defined by cam geometry and transferred via a contour or profile to the engaging member.
- Includes cams in various shapes to demonstrate diverse motion profiles.
- Engaging members include roller plunger, flat plunger, and cam follower options.
- Stroke is measured by recording the travel of the engaging member.
- Angular scale indicates the cam's angle of rotation for precise correlation with stroke displacement.
Benefits
- Provides hands-on understanding of cam motion conversion principles.
- Demonstrates how cam geometry influences motion output and stroke characteristics.
- Supports a wide range of instructional experiments with interchangeable cams and followers.
- Easy-to-use setup designed for clear classroom demonstration and group learning.
