Statement (I): When a flat-faced follower is used, it would be preferable to provide an offset in the plane perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the cam. Statement (II): Because of the offset, the follower is made to rotate continuously about its axis which in turn avoids jamming of the follower in its guide while moving up or down, reduces the wear of the follower flat surface and distributes the wear uniformly.
In the following figure, the transmitter Tx sends a wideband modulated RF signal via a coaxial cable to the receiver Rx. The output impedance ZT of Tx, the characteristic impedance Z0 of the cable, and the input impedance ZR of Rx are all real. Which one of the following statements is TRUE about the distortion of the received signal due to impedance mismatch?
The displacement of the reciprocating roller follower, when it has contact with the straight flanks of the tangent cam, is given by (where r1 = Minimum radius of the cam, r2 = Radius of the roller follower and $$\theta $$ = Angle turned by the cam from the beginning of the follower displacement)
In the case of a circular arc cam with a flat-faced reciprocating follower, when the follower is in contact with nose of cam, the external spring force required for maintaining the contact between follower and cam is
