I'm thinking it should be within ±20 degrees to reduce skidding error, BUT as close to 0 degrees as possible to avoid tip compensation error, is this true?
Hey,
I'm using a Mitutoyo crysta apex s574 with MCOSMOS GeoPAK software and am trying to figure out how to ensure that my probe hits are normal to the surface. As I understand it, the machine applies the tip compensation to the probe ball/tip in the direction the probe was travelling at the...
-Rodrico: Yes I understand that. What I am assuming is that a Nitrided EN40B steel cam is going to be suitable since this is for a roller cam (not a flat-tappet) and the OEM (mass produced) cam is cast iron. I'm making low quantities also.
-BigClive: Fuel pump cam is for a high-pressure fuel...
Thanks for the replies everyone!
- The contact is going to be rolling and not sliding (roller tappet not flat tappet).
- Thanks RodRico for the material suggestion but I think that may be a bit overkill, I am just looking to meet or exceed OEM automotive camshaft material specs which as I...
Hey, I am designing a 4-lobed fuel pump cam and was wondering if I could get some insight into choosing a material. I am planning on using EN40B Nitrided Steel but am not positive on the cam follower material it will mate with, presumably it's stainless steel (PN 06L109311). Is this something I...
