Abstract

A camshaft is a shaft to which a cam is fastened or of which a cam forms an integral part, which gives the predetermined specified motion to another element called the follower. In automotive field, camshaft and its follower take important roles to run the engine. Since the system deals with high load and high speed, many analysis have been carried out on the failure of the components. The analysis is done either by experimental or finite element analysis. The result from the finite element analysis is an approximate of the component failure. The aim of the project is to determine the drive cone safety due to overhang effects of the engine drive gear on the drive cone of the shaft.Pro-E and Abaqus are used to determine the stress concentration on the components. The forces and the drive torque that are transmitted from the engine drive gear are used for the calculations. The result from the finite element analysis showed the maximum stress concentration occurring at the outermost fiber of the drive cone of the camshaft leading to failure.
