Rocker arm Cup follower

Convex cam Tangent cam Concave cam Unsymmetrical cam

The Carn and Follower Apparatus enables student to measure the

displacement of cams over an angle of 360°. Displacement, velocity and
acceleration diagrams can be plotted and compared. The displacement is
measured by a dial gauge. The angle can be measured by a protractor.
Four various cams and a roller, tangent and rocherarm follower are
provided. The cams and followers are mounted with knurled screws.
Cam and follower combinations
