Question: A single-geared blanking press has a stroke of 8 in and a rated capacity of 35 tons. A cam-driven ram is assumed to be capable

A single-geared blanking press has a stroke of 8 in and a rated capacity of 35 tons. A cam-driven ram is assumed to be capable of delivering the full press load at constant force during the last 15 percent of a constant-velocity stroke. The camshaft has an average speed of 90 rev/min and is geared to the flywheel shaft at a 6:1 ratio. The total work done is to include an allowance of 16 percent for friction.
(a) Estimate the maximum energy fluctuation.
(b) Find the rim weight for an effective diameter of 48 in and a coefficient of speed fluctuation of 0.10.
