Question

Which of the following cam follower has the highest wear rate?

A.

Knife edge follower

B.

Roller follower

C.

Flat face follower

D.

Spherical faced follower

Answer ( Option A)

Knife edge follower

Solution

●Knife edge follower uses is limited as it produces a great wear of the surface at the point of contact.


●In case of roller follower, steep rise, jams the cam and therefore is not preferred.

●Flat-face (mushroom) follower does not pose the problem of jamming but high surface stresses and wear are quite high due to deflection and misalignment.

●Spherical faced follower reduced the disadvantage of flat faced follower and used instead of it.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
