From the given data, calculate the acceleration of follower in m/s2 at the beginning of the lift for a symmetrical tangent cam operating a roller follower.Least radius of the cam is 30 mm; Roller radius is 17.5 mm. The angle of ascent is 75° and the total lift is 17.5 mm. The speed of the cam shaft is 600 r.p.m.

Cams topics include: Cams and its classifications, tangent cams and circular arc cams. A machine cam is a component that rotates or moves back and forth to create a motion in a follower. The cam's contacting surface shape is determined by the follower's profile and the prescribed motion. The follower is usually flat or circular.  Cams are often found in engines, industrial printers, manufacturing machines, and other mechanical equipment. They can be found in different materials, sizes, and styles. Some common types of cams include: Barrel cam, Face cam, Disc cam, Heart cam.  Cams can be... Show more
