For problem, use the cylindrical 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 1.

Problem 1

A cylindrical cam must provide the displacement shown in Figure to a reciprocating roller follower. The roller diameter is 1.0 in. The cylinder diameter is 5 in. and rotates clockwise. Graphically construct the profile and estimate the largest pressure angle.
