A cam should be designed only using uniform rise and fall within first half of cam profile, the remaining is dwell period, and without any dwell period in between the rise-fall periods and rise and fall periods should be same. The maximum rise in follower is 35 mm. How much the follower will rise when the follower is 240 degrees from its initial position of a cam?

Correct Answer: 0
According to the given conditions there is the only movement in follower up to 180 degrees of shaft rotation and between it at the middle the follower make maximum rise that is at 90 degrees. So there will be no rise in the follower in the second half of cam profile.
