Abstract

The first part of the work studied the rotating circular cam mechanism with flat face follower using analytical methods. The second part analyses the mechanism from kinematical point of view employing numerical methods and experimental techniques. There is a perfect agreement between numerical and analytical results, but the experimental results are more difficult to evaluate and compare as they are influenced by numerous error sources. The paper presents these inaccuracy sources and the ways to diminish their effects.
