KEY WORDS: Test apparatus, Friction measurement, Cam mechanisms

Many studies have been conducted on the friction properties of the cam mechanism. Researchers generally have used a conventional test apparatus in which the friction torque was measured on the cam side of the cam/follower system by fixing a torque meter to the cam shaft. In this method, torque measurement on the cam shaft also measures the friction that occurs in the journal bearings which support the cam shaft. It is diff...
