Ma. Gonzalezpalacios et J. Angeles, SYNTHESIS OF CONTACT SURFACES OF SPHERICAL CAM-OSCILLATING ROLLER-FOLLOWER MECHANISM - A GENERAL-APPROACH, Journal of mechnical design, 116(1), 1994, pp. 315-319
A novel method of synthesis of the surface geometry of spherical cam-o
scillating roller-follower mechanisms is introduced. The approach aims
at zeroing the sliding velocity between the cam and the roller, their
respective geometries being thus obtained as conical surfaces. The pr
essure angle is analyzed in detail. Specific results are presented for
the application of this synthesis technique to indexing cam mechanism
