WEN-TENG CHENG Department of Mechanical Engineering, I-Shou University Ta-Shu, Kaohsiung Hsien 840, Taiwan, R.O.C. (Received January 1996; accepted January 1998) Abstract-The equations related to the curvature analysis of the roller-follower cam mechanisms are presented for roller surfaces being revolution surface, hyperboloidal surface, and globoidal surface. These equations give the expressions of the meshing function, the limit function of the first kind, and the limit function of the second kind. Once these functions are known, the principal curvatures of the cam surface, the relative normal curvatures of contacting surfaces, and the condition of undercutting can be derived. Three particular cam mechanisms with hyperboloidal roller are illustrated and the numerical comparison between 2-D and 3-D cam is given. 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

(5) Transformation matrix Trs is expressed in partition matrix as follows: P131 P13l fT131 = O 1 l where Rrs is a rotation matrix and drs is a translation column vector.

(12) Expanding equation (1 l), we have where w, wy, and w, are the components of the relative angular velocity between the roller and the cam, and TV, rr, and rz are the components of the relative translational velocity between the roller and the cam at the origin of coordinate system S3. All the components of the relative velocities are expressed in coordinate system S3. For the roller-follower cam mechanism, the meshing function Cp is defined as qe,u,q E n(3) .vl) = nf W, q . (14) For the cam surface being conjugate to the roller surface at the point of contact, the equation of meshing is given by (e, 21, t = 0. (15) Simultaneous solution of equations (9) and (15) determines the contact line on the roller sur- face for any given time t, and simultaneous solution of equations (10) and (15) determines the corresponding contact line on the roller surface in the meantime. The limit function of the second kind at for mutually contacting surfaces Cr and C3 is expressed as (a,(e,u,t) = np T w; ?-a) * (16) Let KY and $) be the principal curvatures of the roller surface C3, and in and bn be the corresponding principal directions in coordinate system S3.

Example 2. Conical Cam with a Translating Conical Follower Figure 6 shows a conical cam with a translating conical follower. The conical cam rotates about the input axis while the follower translates along the output axis. The angle of rotation 41 is the parameter of motion of the cam, and the translational displacement s2 is that of the follower. In the meantime, let si = 0 and $9 = 0. The twisted angle from the input axis to the output axis is Q! and a = 0 for the two axes being intersected. Due to the rotation axis of the roller intersected with and perpendicular to the output axis, the distance b = 0 and the twisted angle p = 12. The distance from the origin of the coordinate system Ss to the apex of the conical roller is d and the angle between the rotation axis and the generating line of conical surface is y. And, the specified displacement relation is s2 = ss($i). Figure 6. Conical cam with a translating roller-follower. Curvature Analysis 81 For a conical roller, the value of the parameter c of equations (37) and (38) is zero. Therefore, the coordinates of the conical roller surface and its unit normal in coordinate system Ss are given (3) 1 r3 = us8 tany -uC0tany d+u llT, I 7-p = SBC -cec+y -SylT, where u 0, d 542) - ya(d + 4h + 5542) . 150 2 (deg) I I r .L_ MS i _ 1 Dwell j 1 I I Dwell 120 Figure 8.

Numerical Comparison Between 2-D and 3-D Cams The cam mechanisms of Example 1 and Example 3 are applied to offer the quantifiable com- parison between the 2-D and 3-D cams. They use the same roller radius, follower displacement, motion function, and distance between the input and output axes. The motion function cPs(&) shown in Figure 8 is divided into five intervals and that the second and the fourth intervals use modified sine motion. Table 1 shows the parameters and the functions which are used for the disk cam and the globoidal cam. Table 1. Parameters of disk cam and globoidal cam. a4 H.-S. YAN AND W.-T. CHENG Figure 9.

Curvature Analysis 85 For the roller surface being a cylindrical surface, the pressure angles q&k and qs10 for the disk cam and the globoidal cam are derived as Cvdisk = IbSfJ WV (b2 + c2 + 2bcC6)“2 cqdO = (c2ce2 + u2)1/2. Figures 9-14 shows the cam profiles, the pressure angles, and the principal curvatures for the disk cam and the globoidal cam. As shown in Figure 10, the pressure angles for the Profiles 1 and 2 of the globoidal cam have the same value for the same 41 and u. CONCLUSION The rollers with cylindrical surface, conical surface, and globoidal surface are usually used in roller-follower cam mechanisms. The cylindrical surface and the conical surface are special cases of the hyperboloidal surface. For the rollers of revolution surface, hyperboloidal surface, and globoidal surface, the curvature analysis of the roller-follower cam mechanisms are presented in this paper. For the mutually contacting surfaces between the cam and the follower, the principal curvatures of the cam surface, the relative normal curvature, and the condition of undercutting are expressed in terms of the meshing function and the limit functions. And, these functions for the cam mechanisms with the three-roller surfaces are derived. The hyperboloidal surface and the globoidal surface are the particular cases of the axis-symmetric quadric surface while the later one is a particular case of the revolution surface. For the simplicity of programming, we just focus on the roller of revolution surface. Here, all the surface normals of the roller surfaces are directed outward the roller. Therefore, the limit function of the first kind must be minus in order to avoid the undercutting.
