1. Introduction
The profile for cam-follower mechanism needs to be defined to
perform the required motion of the follower as a function of cam
rotation. Hence this report will provide the detail about
corresponding diagrams for displacement, velocity, acceleration,
and jerk respectively to demonstrate the kinematics and kinetics of
the system. Any possible physical interference between cam and
follower, and compact design outcome will be present here.
My student identity number is 3347609; hence the corresponding
input based on the last 5 numbers of my student id is defined as:
a=4, b=7,c=6,d=0,e=9
2. Cam-Follower System
Figure 1 below depicts the design of the cam-follower system. It has
an offset radial follower with cylindrical-faced or roller contact (with
radius of r).
3. Equations
The corresponding expression for the rising and returning
displacement of the follower, y, as a function of the rotating angle,
y ( ) , is present below. Let angle, as the rotating angle to
calculate all the values.

7. Conclusion
From the previous section, it can be prove that the cam profile that
has a base circle diameter of 50 mm will yield maximum pressure
angle of 29.7 when the angle of rotation is 110 , at the same
spot of the occurrence of the maximum velocity of the cam-follower.
Therefore, only one plot is needed as the original profile doesnt
need to undergo any optimization to achieve optimize value that is
less than 30 .
Due to absence of dip in the cam profile, hence it is assume the
interference of roller movement does not exist in this cam profile.
