A cam rotating clockwise at a uniform speed of 150 rpm is required to give motion to knife edge follower as below:
i) Follower to move outwards through 25mm during 120° of cam rotation.
ii) Follower to dwell for the next 60° of cam rotation.
iii) Follower to return to its starting position during next 90° of cam rotation.
iv) Follower to dwell for the rest of the cam rotation.
