| CAD: NCKU-E03 Positive Motion Cam Mechanism |
For disk cam mechanisms, the motion
relationship between cam and follower is not completely determined.
It needs some auxiliary forces, e.g., the gravity force or spring
force, to avoid the separation between cam and follower during operation.
Therefore, the positive motion cam mechanism
is the one whose cam can determinately drive the follower, i.e., cam
and follower keeps contact during the overall operation, without using
auxiliary forces. For the shown models, this cam mechanism has a disk
cam whose profile is formed by three equal-radius arcs. Based on this
special geometry, its cam and follower can keep contact over the cycle
of motion.
