Cam and Roller lifetime estimation using ISO6336 and ISO281
This tag relates to the Model Mechanisms MechDesigner feature
Two new videos on Cam and Roller Lifetime estimation
Two YouTube videos have been created to demonstrate how to estimate Cam and Cam Roller lifetimes.
Cam and Cam Followers available with MechDesigner
MechDesigner can model any cam and cam-follower motion with forward-kinematics and inverse-kinematics.
Cam Profile Coordinates for Manufacture
Calculate Cam Profile Coordinates for Manufacture in different file formats.
Design and Manufacture Barrel Cams
Barrel Cam profiles can be calculated by MechDesigner
MechDesigner can generate the cam profiles for Barrel and Globoidal Cams. Download Example
Design and Manufacture Globoidal Cams
MechDesigner models Globoidal cams with complete accuracy.
Camshaft Design
Cam designs often use conjugate cams for improved performance
While MechDesigner software is particularly suited to Packaging Machine design, it can also be used to design Camshafts for engines. We would normally recommend that you use specialist software for the design of engine camshaft because there are special requirements for valve timing cams. Nevertheless, if you can specify your motion using our motion design software, then why not.
Cycloidal Curves with Gears and Racks
Cycloidal Gear Curve Types with a Stationary Gear or Rack. When we roll a gear or rack on a fixed gear or rack, we can get particular curves that might be of interest to you.
The Gears can also be used to generate a Cycloid Cam for a Cycloidal Gearbox.
