Introduction:
A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used especially in
transforming rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa. It is often a part of a
rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular
shape) that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular path. The cam can
be a simple tooth, as is used to deliver pulses of power to a steam hammer, for
example, or an eccentric disc or other shape that produces a smooth reciprocating
(back and forth) motion in the follower, which is a lever making contact with the
cam .

Types of cam:

Plate cam
Cylindrical cam
Face cam
Heart shaped cam
Snail drop cam
Linear cam

Displacement diagram

Certain cams can be characterized by their displacement diagrams, which reflect

the changing position a roller follower (a shaft with a rotating wheel at the end)
would make as the cam rotates about an axis. These diagrams relate angular
position, usually in degrees, to the radial displacement experienced at that
position. Displacement diagrams are traditionally presented as graphs with non-
negative values. A simple displacement diagram illustrates the follower motion at
a constant velocity rise followed by a similar return with a dwell. The rise is the
motion of the follower away from the cam center, dwell is the motion where the
follower is at rest, and return is the motion of the follower toward the cam center.
Theory:
1-) Single dwell application of polynomial :

Rise-fall rise 12mm in 60 degree and fall 12mm in 60 degree

Dwell at zero displacement for 240 degree

s=C + C( ) C( ) + C( ) + C ( ) + C ( ) + C( )

=120
at =0 , s=0 , v=0 , a=0

at = , s=12

at = , s=0 , v=0 , a=0

s= 12*(64 ( ) 192 ( ) + 192 ( ) 64 ( ) )
