How to identify inaccurate positioning caused by cam divider collision
2023-06-22

During the use of the cam divider, it is necessary to ensure that it starts and stops in the stationary position, and collisions and starts and stops in the driving position must be avoided during rotation. Starting and stopping in a position other than the stationary position is considered abnormal use, which can cause great damage to the divider and lead to inaccurate positioning. In severe cases, it can cause the internal needle roller bearing to break. When the cam divider is not positioned accurately and the disc shakes, how can you tell whether it is caused by a collision or starting and stopping in a non-stationary position? If the inaccurate positioning, gap, and shaking are caused by a collision, usually only the bearings and indexing holes corresponding to the workstation where the collision occurred have problems. As shown in the video below, only the outer rings of the two needle roller bearings are deformed and the indexing holes are deformed.

If the positioning is inaccurate due to non-stationary start and stop, there will be abnormalities in the bearings and indexing holes corresponding to multiple workstations. The above analysis is recommended to be carried out under the premise of correct selection. If the selection is too small, how to identify the shaking, clearance and other phenomena?
