A cam rotating at 200 RPM operates a reciprocating roller follower of radius 2-5 cm. The least radius of the cam is 30mm and the stroke of the follower is 5 cm. Ascent takes place by UARM and descent by SHM. Ascent takes place during 70° and descent during 50° of cam rotation. Dwell between ascent and descent is 60°. Sketch displacement, velocity, acceleration and Jerk diagrams.
