Maximum Acceleration of Follower for Tangent Cam with Roller Follower Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Acceleration = Angular Velocity of Cam^2*(Radius of the Base Circle+Radius of Roller)*((2-(cos(Angle Turned by the Cam for Contact of Roller))^2)/((cos(Angle Turned by the Cam for Contact of Roller))^3))
a_max = ω^2*(r₁+r_rol)*((2-(cos(φ))^2)/((cos(φ))^3))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Maximum Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Maximum Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
Angular Velocity of Cam - (Measured in Radian per Second) - Angular velocity of cam refers to how fast an object rotates or revolves relative to another point.
Radius of the Base Circle - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of the base circle is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length.
Radius of Roller - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Roller is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length.

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a_max = ω^2*(r₁+r_rol)*((2-(cos(φ))^2)/((cos(φ))^3)) --> 27^2*(4.98+31)*((2-(cos(0.5))^2)/((cos(0.5))^3))

Evaluating ... ...

a_max = 47728.3554974283

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

47728.3554974283 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

47728.3554974283 ≈ 47728.36 Meter per Square Second <-- Maximum Acceleration
