3D modelling and simulation of high-speed oscillating follower cylindrical cam actuator

Design and development of 3-position actuator for big size high-voltage breakers are discussed.A 3D model of two oscillating roller follower cylindrical cam is built by ADAMS and Pro/E.The virtual prototyping of a actuator is built to simulate and analyze on different operating conditions and design parameters.Cylindrical cam trough-outline with two oscillating roller follower was studied by VP simulation,a trough-outline with better dynamic performance is obtained.These provide an effective method for design and development of new actuator for high-voltage breakers.
