Question: Plate 0 4 : Flat - Face Follower Problem: Design a plate cam to actuate the followers through the rocker R which is pivoted at

Plate 04: Flat-Face Follower Problem: Design a plate cam to actuate the followers through the rocker R which is pivoted at P. The slide S works in vertical guides and its center line is 5 in. to the right of the camshaft center. The point Pis 8 in. to the left and 3 V in. above the camshaft center. The rocker is y in. thick and is pivoted at Pin center of its thickness. R is horizontal when in its lowest position. The cam is to work against the lower flat face of Rand the follower rides on the top of R. The foot of the followers is a semicircle in. in diameter. Cam rotates clockwise and raises S 3 min. in the first 90\deg rotation with harmonic motion. Srests during next 90\deg rotation of cam; next 90\deg is lowered with uniform motion 3 V in. and rests during the last 90\deg . Instructions: Layout the motion in the displacement diagram and the profile of the cam for every 100 of rotation Displacement diagram (long coupon bond) Scale: 100=0.7 cm (Displacement Diagram) Cam Profile (drafting plate) Displacement diagram = full size Cam profile = reduce to size. (note: displacement when transferred, reduce to in size) Scale: Space, full size. Time: 6 hrs
