Solution:

The cam rotates at 360 rpm and has a minimum radius of 5 cm. If the cam lifts the follower through 3.75 cm when the cam rotates by 90 degrees in simple harmonic motion, determine the maximum velocity of the follower during descent.

Solution:

Consider a 4-bar linkage with only revolute pairs, where the lengths of the links are A, B, C, and D units.

Given that:

A < B < C < D

A + D < B + C

Solution:

A constant velocity follower has a velocity of 60 rad/s. The lift of the cam is 100 mm, and there is no dwell between the ascent and descent of the cam. Find the velocity of the follower at the mid-stroke during descent in m/s (Angle of descent is 120 degrees).
