Abstract
This paper discusses cam curvature as an important limitation in cam design, and presents formulas not previously published for obtaining this curvature. Flat and circular followers are considered for both translational and rotational follower motion. Constructions for obtaining the center of curvature by graphical means are also given. The formulas are listed early in the paper in convenient tabular form for reference purposes, followed by detailed discussion and derivations.Keywords
