Maximum Acceleration of Follower on Return Stroke when Follower Moves with SHM Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Acceleration = (pi^2*Angular Velocity of Cam^2*Stroke of Follower)/(2*Angular Displacement of Cam During Return Stroke^2)
a_max = (pi^2*ω^2*S)/(2*θ_R^2)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

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.
Stroke of Follower - (Measured in Meter) - Stroke of Follower is the greatest distance or angle through which the follower moves or rotates.
Angular Displacement of Cam During Return Stroke - (Measured in Radian) - The angular displacement of cam during return stroke is the angle covered by the follower during the return stroke.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angular Velocity of Cam: 27 Radian per Second --> 27 Radian per Second No Conversion Required
Stroke of Follower: 20 Meter --> 20 Meter No Conversion Required
Angular Displacement of Cam During Return Stroke: 77.5 Radian --> 77.5 Radian No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a_max = (pi^2*ω^2*S)/(2*θ_R^2) --> (pi^2*27^2*20)/(2*77.5^2)

Evaluating ... ...

a_max = 11.9790911273992

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

11.9790911273992 Meter per Square Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

11.9790911273992 ≈ 11.97909 Meter per Square Second <-- Maximum Acceleration

What is a cam and follower used for?

The cam and follower mechanism is widely used for operating the inlet and exhaust valves of internal combustion engines. They are used in wall clocks and the feed mechanism of automatic lathe machines. They are also used in paper cutting machines and weaving textile machinery.

What are the different types of motion with which a follower can move?

The follower may move as a slider, reciprocating in a linear direction, or as a rocker, oscillating around a fixed pivot. There can be overlapping functionality between cams and linkages (such as crank-rockers).
