Custom Cam Design/Inspection
Do you need cam designs for your engine?
Andrews Products can provide a cam design with quick turn around. Our design consulting
service also includes updating older cam data from past designs where the original
calculations are no longer available.
Manufacturing output files and/or master cams can also be provided.
Contract Cam Inspection
Adcole Model 911 Camshaft Inspection Gage
Andrews Products can perform contract inspection for
any camshaft up to 28 inches long. Actual measurements are done on an Adcole model 911
camshaft gage to resolutions of .000010" (ten millionths). This gage is operated in a
temperature controlled inspection room.
Error curve summaries typically are a combination of
plots and printouts.
Cam Design Analysis
Using a second machine, cams of unknown origin can
be measured yielding printouts and graphical plots of lift, velocity, acceleration, jerk,
snap (4th derivative), pressure angle (for roller follower cams), and radius of curvature.
Base circle runout is also analyzed and accounted for.
Using this data as a starting point, cam designs can
then be smoothed, modified and/or converted from flat to roller, etc.
Master cams can also be ground for most single
master type cam grinders (Berco/Van Norman, Storm Vulcan, etc.). |
