: The outer edge that makes contact with the follower.
: Use thin lines for construction and thick lines for the final cam profile to ensure clarity. : The outer edge that makes contact with the follower
) that allows the drawing to fit the sheet while maintaining accuracy. : At each angular position, measure the lift
: At each angular position, measure the lift from the displacement diagram and mark it radially outward from the base circle. Base Circle : Draw the minimum radius circle
: Complex curves like parabolas or sinusoids that might be required depending on the specific motion laws assigned in your variant. Tips for Precision Scale : Carefully choose a scale ( μlmu sub l
To construct a cam profile according to standard engineering requirements: : Establish the coordinate axes ( ) and define the center of rotation for the cam. Base Circle : Draw the minimum radius circle ( rminr sub m i n end-sub
