For, use the specific cam profile equations and a spreadsheet to generate a chart of profile coordinates for every 10° of cam angle.

Use the cam described in Problem.

Problem

A plate cam must provide the displacement shown in Figure to a reciprocating offset roller follower. The follower is positioned in the vertical plane, contacting the top of the cam. The offset distance is 0.5 in. to the right of the cam center. The roller diameter is 0.75 in. The cam must have a base circle of 2.0 in. and rotate counterclockwise. Graphically construct the profile and estimate the largest pressure angle.
