Three types of follower motion
1. Cycloidal : acceleration is zero at the
beginning and end of motion

A cam is required such that the follower rises 50
mm in 120° of cam rotation, dwells for 60°,
returns in 120°, and dwells for 60°. The cam
angular velocity is constant at 60rpm. The
requirements are displayed in Fig. P6.17.

b) Divide the displacement diagram in several intervals.
Six intervals: 0-40; 40-80; 80-120; 120-300; 300-330; 330-360
c) Divide the prime circle in the same number of intervals as the displacement
diagram.
3. Draw parallel lines from the displacement diagram to the follower home position.
Each line represents the rise of the follower at that specific interval.
4. Invert the mechanism, fix the cam and move the follower around the
cam in the opposite direction to the cam rotation. This is done by drawing
circles about the centre of the prime circle, the radius at each circle are the
displacements of the follower.
5. Draw the cam profile inside the envelope of the follower displacements

Flat face follower:
Draw lines which are tangent to follower displacement circles
Extend the tangent lines and make them intersect. Connect the
midpoints using spline lines to get the cam profile
Roller follower:
Home position is the centre of the roller. The prime circle is tangent
to the roller.
Make sure the connect line is tangent with both roller circles.
