A typical displacement diagram for a cam is depicted in Fig.3.12.
DISPLACEMENT DIAGRAM FOR A CAM
• The displacement diagram is one in
which the abscissa (i.e., X-axis) represents the angular displacement of cam
and the ordinate (ie., Y-axis) represents the corresponding displacement of the
follower from its initial position.
• A typical displacement diagram for a
cam is depicted in Fig.3.12.
• The displacement diagram consists of
three distinct parts: rise, return, and dwell.
• Dwell is the period during which the
follower remains at rest. Dwell may be between
rise and return, and after return also.
• It may be noted that the points of
inflexion during rise and return portions correspond to the pitch points.
