Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cam profile is designed to operate at uniform velocity, but vibrations have been reported. What might be the cause and how would you resolve it?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how jerk contributes to potential mechanical stress.

Question 2

Design a motion diagram for a cam running at uniform velocity, indicating points where jerk may occur. Explain your reasoning.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Visualize the movements and how they change relative to one another.
