The followers feature high load, precision-machined composite tires installed onto ball bearings using a thermal process. The composite material carries high static and dynamic loads. The heavy ...

In heavy-duty cam-driven machines, improper mounting often causes misalignment that produces thrust forces and metal contact between the bearing’s outer ring and side plate. Heavy loading also creates ...

A 3D dynamic model has been developed to investigate the dynamic response of a finger-follower cam system by considering the interaction between valve train and camshaft. The torsional moments being ...
