Kinematic Design of Adaptive Control Adjustable Stroke Piston Pump for Automated Lubrication System

Abstract

Lubrication is done either manually or using automatic systems, the purpose of the automatic lubrication system is to provide certain amount of lubricant at given time to the machines the proposed work is based on auto control variable displacement pump and referencing to literature survey it is a novel work involves, an innovative kinematic link base stroke changing mechanism. The stoke variation mechanism serves to alter the stroke of the piston pump in a controlled manner to control the flow rate of the pump precisely. The present work pertains to the design theoretically and kinematic synthesis of the components of the kinematic linkage. The theoretical design of the kinematic linkage is done using graphical method by overlay method, and the analysis of the kinematic linkage is done using adam’s software. The linkage motion for various angle of crank and corresponding output link are derived from this kinematic synthesis. The kinematic analysis of the linkage is done in using adam’s software and the motion study of the link is done to determine the parameters velocity of link and acceleration of link used in the mechanism.
