CLASS ASSIGNMENT

1. Draw the profile for the disc cam offset 20 mm to the right of the centre of the cam shaft.
The base circle diameter is 75 mm and the diameter of the roller is 10 mm. The follower
is to move outward a list of 40 mm with SHM in 140o of the cam rotation to dwell for 40o
of cam rotation to move inward with 150o of cam rotation with uniform acceleration and
retardation. Calculate the maximum velocity of acceleration of follower during each
stroke if cam shaft rotates at 90 rpm.

2. In a symmetrical tangent cam operating a roller follower, the least radius of cam is 30 mm
and roller radius is 17.5 mm. the angle of ascent is 75 o and total lift is 17.5mm. The speed
of cam shaft is 600 rpm. Calculate –
(i) Principal dimensions of cam
(ii) Acceleration of follower at beginning of lift where straight flank merges into
circular nose and at the apex of circular nose.
Assume that there is no dwell between ascent and descent.
