Cam Analysis Machine
Cam Analysis Machine (Product Code: SLE/ETM/10) is a motor-driven test machine used to study how a follower responds to a rotating cam at different speeds, spring preloads and follower masses in engineering laboratories. Mechanical engineering students use it because the precision machined heavy steel base carries a high-torque direct-drive variable-speed motor and a flywheel that steadies the drive. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
Key Details
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Base | Precision machined heavy steel base |
| Drive | High-torque direct-drive variable-speed motor, coupled to the main shaft |
| Main shaft | Supported by self-aligning heavy-duty bearings; carries a substantial flywheel |
| Flywheel | Reduces speed variations as torque demand changes during the cam cycle |
| Cam mounting | Cam fits to the end of the main shaft, accurately mounted axially and radially for repeatability |
| Follower | Fits to the bottom of a vertical shaft running in low-friction linear bearings |
| Followers | Choice of two, with a tool for easy changeover |
| Springs | Choice of two compression springs with adjustable preload |
| Follower mass | Adjustable by adding different masses |
| Product code | SLE/ETM/10 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
What Is the Cam Analysis Machine Used For?
Cams open engine valves, index machine tools and drive packaging lines, and at speed a follower may no longer track the cam profile faithfully. The Cam Analysis Machine lets students explore that behaviour on the bench: they choose a cam and follower, set the motor speed, and watch how the follower responds as the speed rises. The flywheel on the main shaft keeps the drive speed steady even though the torque demand changes through each rotation.
The follower is held against the cam face by its own weight, the weight of the vertical shaft and, when fitted, one of the two compression springs. Changing the spring, adjusting its preload or adding masses changes the force on the cam, so a class can compare several set-ups in one session. This makes it useful mechanics lab equipment in India for theory of machines and machine dynamics practicals.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of machines for your laboratory.
- Which cams you need — the listing does not state how many cams come with the machine, so ask us.
- Whether you need extra masses for the follower, beyond what is quoted.
- Your mains supply, so we can confirm the motor arrangement.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that produces the Cam Analysis Machine at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutes buy it from the manufacturer rather than a reseller, so questions about cams, followers, springs and later replacement parts are answered by the maker — ask us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can students investigate with the Cam Analysis Machine?
With the Cam Analysis Machine, students investigate how a follower behaves on a rotating cam as motor speed, follower type, spring preload and follower mass change. The selection of springs, followers and cams allows a wide range of investigations.
Why does the Cam Analysis Machine have a flywheel?
The Cam Analysis Machine SLE/ETM/10 has a substantial flywheel on its main shaft because the torque needed to turn the cam changes during each rotation. The flywheel reduces the resulting speed variations, so test conditions stay steadier.
How many followers and springs are provided?
The Cam Analysis Machine offers a choice of two followers, with a tool for easy changeover, and a choice of two compression springs whose preload can be adjusted. Different masses can also be added to change the follower mass.
How is the cam mounted?
On the Cam Analysis Machine SLE/ETM/10, the cam under test fits to the end of the main shaft and is accurately mounted both axially and radially. This helps ensure repeatable results when cams are changed between experiments.
Who manufactures the Cam Analysis Machine?
The Cam Analysis Machine is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Orders, repeat purchases and spare-part enquiries are handled by the manufacturer itself.
Can the Cam Analysis Machine be supplied in quantity or exported?
Yes, the Cam Analysis Machine SLE/ETM/10 is supplied to engineering colleges, dealers and importers across India and international markets. Share the quantity and delivery destination on the contact page to receive a quotation.
