Modification and Analysis of Groove Type Camshaft With Ball Type Lifter

  Y. Lethwala,  Rishabh Jain

In internal combustion engines the cam play a very important role and also takes huge impact on itself. The failure of cam is major issue which happens due to the follower, this failure is also known as the lobe failure. Lobe is the surface of the cam on which the material removal is major issue and all the impact is made by the follower. This failure produces the great amount of wear and tear in the cam. To overcome the failure and to keep the cam safe from the huge impact the design plays the role. It keeps the cam profile protected from wear and tear produced by the follower. The follower and cam design provide the smooth operation with least impact resulting in the extremely low wear and tear. In this single groove cam and ball point type follower design the ball point of the follower has the advantage of rotating 360 degrees, so during any impact the follower rotates and provides no wear and tear to the cam profile. This new design has reduced the wear and tear up to 60% on cam profile and cam lobe. This design also increased the life of component and has provided the improvisation to the existing design for further future applications.
