Abstract

This paper deals with the torque compensation cam (TCC) mechanism which minimizes the fluctuations of input shaft torque. By virtue of this effect, TCC is good method to reduce the vibration and to increase the operating speed of mechanisms driven by cam. However, it is sometimes difficult to find out the proper size mechanical spring through the market for the huge application. A novel design methodology replacing the coil spring to the air spring may fit this area which requires huge torque. In summary, the energy balance equation and the characteristic of air spring type TCC are derived. The procedure of design optimization is obtained to minimize the total energy of the system. The optimal control with the pressure as the function of operating speed during start cycle and at arbitrary operating speed is analyzed.
