Dynamics Simulation of Cam Mechanism Based on Pro/E

摘要

Cam mechanism is widely used as a common mechanism in automated or semi-automated machinery. To improve the cam mechanism design, efficiency and quality of machining process, a direct-acting roller follower disk cam mechanism was designed and simulated based on PRO/E. Computer-aided design and simulation methods of Cam mechanism were introduced, the movement of mechanism was very intuitive and the curve of each power parameter was available. The simulation allows designers to grasp and control the movement of mechanism and accuracy, increases design safety factor. The validity and reliability of the design were tested by comparing the results of the design and simulation analysis.
