When the motion of the follower is along as axis away from the cam centre it is called
offset follower.
62. What are the types of cams?
Radial or Disc cam, Cylindrical cam
63. Define pressure angle
It is the angle between the direction of the follower motion and a normal to the
pitch curve. If the pressure angle is too large a reciprocating follower will jam in its
bearing.
64. What are the motions of the follower?
Uniform velocity, Simple harmonic motion, Uniform acceleration and retardation,
Cycloidal motion
65. What are dwell periods?
The period during which the follower remains at rest are known as dwell periods.
66. Define angular velocity.
It may be defined a ratio of change of angular displacement with respect to time. It is a
vector quantity.
67. Define a gear.
A gear is a wheel provided with teeth which mesh with the teeth on another wheel
or on to rack so as to give positive transmission of motion from one component to
another.
68. What are the types of gears?
Spur gear , Helical gear, Bevel gear, Worm gear, Rack and pinion
69. Define pitch circle
It is an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action would give the same motion as the
actual gear.
70. Define pressure angle
It is the angle between the common normal to two gear teeth at the point of contact and
the common tangent at the pitch point. It is denoted by The standard pressure angles
are 141/2 and 20
71. Define Dimeteral pitch.
It is the ratio of number of teeth to the pitch circle diameter in mm
72. Define module.
It is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in mm to the number of teeth.
73. Define arc of contact
It is the path traced by a point on the pitch circle from the beginning to the end of
engagement of a given pair of teeth.
