Question# 01: (CLO-3, PLO-3, C-5)

Group -1
(Odd Roll numbers)
A cam, with a minimum radius of 25 mm, rotating clockwise at a uniform speed is to be
designed to give a roller follower, at the end of a valve rod, motion described below :
1. To raise the valve through 40 mm during 120° rotation of the cam ;
2. To keep the valve fully raised through next 30°;
3. To lower the valve during next 90°; and
4. To keep the valve closed during rest of the revolution i.e. 120° ;
The diameter of the roller is 20 mm and the diameter of the cam shaft is 25 mm.
Draw the profile of the cam when the line of stroke of the valve rod passes through the
axis of the cam shaft.
The displacement of the valve, while being raised and lowered, is to take place with
uniform acceleration and retardation.
Evaluate the maximum velocity and maximum acceleration of the follower in the outward
and inward strokes?

A cam, with a minimum radius of 25 mm, rotating clockwise at a uniform speed is to be
designed to give a roller follower, at the end of a valve rod, motion described below :
1. To raise the valve through 50 mm during 120° rotation of the cam ;
2. To keep the valve fully raised through next 60°;
3. To lower the valve during next 90°; and
4. To keep the valve closed during rest of the revolution i.e. 90° ;
The diameter of the roller is 20 mm and the diameter of the cam shaft is 25 mm.
Draw the profile of the cam when the line of stroke of the valve rod passes through the
axis of the cam shaft.
The displacement of the valve, while being raised and lowered, is to take place with simple
harmonic motion.

Evaluate the maximum velocity and maximum acceleration of the follower in the outward
and inward strokes?
