Question

Transcribed Image Text:Project 4: Cam-follower is used in a range of applications to convert rotational motion to linear motion of a follower at specific characteristics and time period. Your role is to construct the profile of a cam that specify the following motion requirements of a follower: Motion.1: first part of lift period at constant acceleration of 2 m/s? over rotation of 30° Motion.2: second part of lift period at constant deceleration of 2 m/s? over the next 30° Motion.3: follower produces constant displacement for next 90° Motion 1 and 2 are the rise/lift period and must be 15 mm displacement and the fall is identical to rise/lift period and must return to the base again at 210°. The base of the circle cam is 140 mm. Produce the profile of cam for 2°intervals and find out speed of cam in rpm and the corresponding time interval for each segment of the profile. Provide both a table of data and final sketch including all the information on it. 1. Explore the profiles that will achieve a specified motion for a) radial plate (one type only) b) cylindrical cams (at least three types) 2. You have been engaged in open discussion in which you need to critically evaluate and justify the different choices of cam follower that could be selected to achieve a specified motion, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each application
