Question
Download Solution PDFA cam is used to impart a desired motion to a follower by direct contact. Which of the follower motion will produce the least jerk to the system?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
In any Cam-Follower design, the jerk must be finite across the entire interval.
Cycloidal Motion:
In cycloidal motion, there are no abrupt changes in the velocity and acceleration at any stage of the motion.
Thus in this type, jerks are the least and this is the most ideal motion for high-speed follower motion.
For better understanding, analyse the displacement, velocity, and acceleration diagram given below.
Additional Information
Uniform velocity motion:
Uniform Acceleration and Retardation:
Simple harmonic motion:
Cycloidal motion:
