A cam rotating clockwise at a uniform speed of 120 rpm. is required to give motion to knife follower as below:
(a) Follower to move outwards through 40 mm during 120° of cam rotation with simple harmonic motion,
(b) Follower to dwell for the next 60° of cam rotation,
(c) Follower to return to its starting position during next 90° of cam rotation with
uniformly accelerated motion, and
(d) Follower to dwell for the rest of the cam rotation.
The minimum diameter of the cam is 50 mm and the line of stroke of the follower offsets with 10 mm the axis of the cam shaft. Find the maximum velocity and acceleration during outstroke and return stroke then draw the velocity and acceleration diagrams.
By using suitable formulae for SHM path and constant accleleration path, maximum velocity and acceleration can be calculated.

A disc cam is to give SHM (Simple Harmonic Motion) to a knife-edge
follower during outstroke of 50mm. The angle ascent is 120, dwell 60, and
angle of descent 90°. The minimum radius of the cam is 50mm. Draw the profile
of the cam when the axis of the follower passes through the axis of the
camshaft.

when the camshaft revolves at 240 rpm.
A translating cam-follower is to be designed for a Rise-Dwell-Fall-Dwell (RDFD) application in which vibrations must be considered. The cam is to move the follower from 0 to 35 mm in 70°, dwell for 100, fall back to 0 mm in 80°, and dwell for the remainder of the cycle. In addition, the cam must rotate at an angular velocity of 60 RPM. The position (s), velocity (v), and acceleration (a) curves during the rise period are defined by the...
Consider a cam with a roller follower.

1. (40 points) A double-dwell cam is to move a follower from 0 to 2" in 120°, dwell for 80°, fall in 90 and dwell for the remainder. The total cycle is 5 seconds. Using cycloidal motion for the rise and 3-4-5 polynomial motion for the fall, find the follower displacement corresponding to the cam angle 0 at 90°, 180°, 230° and 320 respectively. Also find the maximum actual acceleration (in inch/sec2) during the entire motion cycle.
