Question for GATE Past Year Questions: Cams
Try yourself:In a cam-follower mechanism, the follower needs to rise through 20 mm during 60° of cam rotation, the first 30° with a constant acceleration and then with a deceleration of the same magnitude. The initial and final speeds of the follower are zero. The cam rotates at uniform speed of 300 rpm. The maximum speed of the follower is

Question for GATE Past Year Questions: Cams
Try yourself:Consider a rotating disk cam and a translating roller follower with zero offset. Which one of the following pitch curves, parameterized by t, lying in the interval 0 to 2π, is associated with the maximum translation of the follower during one full rotation of the cam rotating about the center at (x, y) = (0, 0)?

Explanation
From all the four options the maximum amplitudes is in point ‘C’ as t = 0.
Option ‘c’ has maximum net amplitude.

Try yourself:In a cam-follower, the follower rises by h as the cam rotates by d (radians) at constant angular velocity w (radians/s). The follower is uniformly accelerating during the first half of the rise period and it is uniformly decelerating in the later half of the rise period. Assuming that the magnitudes of the acceleration and deceleration are same, the maximum velocity of the follower is
