Abstract
In this paper the ruled surfaces of two rigid bodies that are in conta ct while moving with a prescribed time-varying angular-velocity ratio are generated. These are then used as the contact surfaces of indexing cam mechanisms. In this way, planar, spherical, and spatial mechanism s are synthesized in a unified framework, the pressure angle, for all these cases, being analyzed. The approach is illustrated with various examples.
