  • Camshaft sidewall measuring devices and methods thereof
    Patent number: 10190860
    Abstract: A measuring device includes a rotatable stage configured to receive and rotate an object long a rotational axis of the object. A housing is located adjacent to the rotatable stage and is movable along the rotational axis of the object. The housing has a pivoting arm located between a pair of opposing compression springs which are configured to provide a preload force in a direction parallel to the rotational axis of the object. A probe tip is coupled to the pivoting arm and extends from the housing, the probe tip configured to contact a portion of the object. A displacement measuring device is coupled to the pivoting arm and is configured to measure displacement of the probe tip in the direction parallel to the rotational axis of the object based on movement of the pivoting arm against one of the opposing compression springs.
