Abstract
A simple yet comprehensive method is presented for the design and analysis of a constant-breadth cam mechanism with an oscillating flat-faced follower. In the proposed approach, the kinematic characteristics of the cam mechanism are first derived. The cam profile is then designed using homogenous coordinate transformation and conjugate surface theory. Moreover, the sliding velocity at the cam-follower contact points is determined. Finally, the pressure angle of the constant-breadth cam mechanism and the principal curvatures of the cam are analyzed. The validity of the proposed design methodology is verified by means of motion simulations performed using CAD software.
