Exam 16: Cams

The rotation of a cam is not necessary to label on the diagram since they can move in either direction.

When drawing a cam with an offset follower, the first step should be to:

If the displacement diagram forms a sharp point at the peak, it must be _____ cam motion.

Which of the following is not a type of follower?

To lay out a uniform acceleration motion on a displacement diagram, divide the designed rise/fall into:

When more than one displacement diagram is shown at the same time, it is called a:

The height of the displacement diagram is equal to the radius of the working circle.

Speed of rotation and the actual load applied on the lifter determines the type of follower to be used.

A base circle radius equals the distance from the center of a shaft to the center of a follower wheel at its lowest position.

A displacement diagram is a designed layout of the required motion of the cam.

Which of the following is not true regarding the length of the displacement diagram?

When drawing a displacement diagram, divide the sections into equal portions of:

Which of the following is not a type of motion produced by a cam?

If the start and stop of a cam is to be very rough, the displacement diagram will contain:

he distance between the center of the camshaft and the outermost point is referred to as the:

Which of the following is not true regarding a timing diagram?

If the cam profile is clockwise, it should also be laid out clockwise.

A working circle is considered a distance equal to the distance from the center of the cam shaft to the highest point on the cam.

When dimensioning a cam be sure to include:

The shaft of a the follower on a cylindrical cam must rotate or the cam will stop.
