Question 3: A cam with a minimum radius of 32 mm is to be designed for a knife-edge follower with the following data:
To raise the follower through 35 mm during 120 rotation of the cam
Dwell for next 55 of the cam rotation
Descending of the follower during the next 110 of the cam rotation
Dwell during the rest of the cam rotation
Draw the profile of the cam if the ascending and descending of the cam is with simple harmonic motion and the line of stroke of the follow is offset 10 mm from the axis of the camshaft.
What is the maximum velocity and acceleration of the follower during the ascent and the descent if the cam rotated at 150 rpm?
