APPENDIX C - CAM CHARACTERIZATION
INTRODUCTION
This section provides cam shaping information. Cam shaping is
the process of changing the shape of the cam by cutting or form-
ing so the control signal produces the desired control characteris-
tic. The standard cam normally does not require shaping.
CAM CHARACTERIZATION
Selecting or shaping these cams allows you to obtain a piston (or
valve) position versus control signal characteristic that will pro-
duce a desired controlled medium versus control signal character-
istic. An example is a desired flow rate of air, water or steam
through a valve for each control signal pressure applied to the
positioner.
The control characteristics for which the cams are shaped are
listed in Table
3-1 and are shown in Figures C-1 , C-2 and C-3 . The
figures show a family of curves for each cam whose boundaries
are established by a span adjustment.
