Without modifying the cam contour, a cam mechanism with variable input speed trajectory offers an alternative solution to flexibly achieve kinematic and dynamic characteristics, and then lower the follower’s residual vibration. Firstly, the speed trajectory of cam is derived by employing Bezier curve, and motion continuity conditions are investigated. Then the motion characteristics between the plate cam and the roller follower are derived. The kinematic design method is studied to develop the models for output motion characteristic refinement and output motion adjustment. To analyze the residual vibration, the single DOF dynamic model of the elastic cam-follower system is introduced. Based on the motion equation derived from the dynamic model, the residual vibration of the follower is yielded. The design procedure to improve the kinematic and dynamic motion characteristics is presented and design
examples with discussions are provided. Finally, the simulations of the kinematic and dynamic models by ADAMS are carried out to verify that the design models as well as the performances of variable plate cam mechanism are feasible.
