Cam Type to Circular.

Follower Type - Translating, Offset Left, Offset Right, Swing Left, or Swing Right.

Follower Diameter - This is equal to the diameter of the groove that is cut in the cam.

Starting Radius - This is the distance from the center of cam rotation to the center of the follower.

Starting Angle - This is the angle between the follower and a horizontal line through the center of the cam.

For a Translating follower, type the value. For an Offset or Swing follower, the Starting Angle can be Computed or Adjusted. If you select Computed, the software calculates the Starting Angle for you. If you select Adjusted, type the value.

Rotation Direction - Clockwise or Counter Clockwise

(Offset Follower only) Offset Distance (A) and Offset Angle (B). See the illustration for descriptions of (A) and (B).

(Swing Follower only) Arm Pivot X Offset (A), Arm Pivot Y Offset (B), and Arm Length (C). See the illustration for descriptions of (A), (B), and (C). In the illustration, (B) is equal to (C) because the Swing Follower is vertical.

Cam Type to Linear.

Follower Type - Translating, Inclined, Swing Trail, or Swing Lead.

Follower Diameter - This is equal to the diameter of the groove that is cut in the cam.

Starting Rise - This is the vertical distance from the base corner of the cam to the center of the follower.

Starting Run - This is the horizontal distance from the base corner of the cam to the center of the follower.

For a Translating or Inclined follower, type the value. For a Swing follower, the Starting Run can be Computed or Adjusted. If you select Computed, the software calculates the Starting Run for you. If you select Adjusted, type the value.

Cam Motion - Left or Right

(Inclined Follower only) Follower Angle - This is the angle between the follower and a line that is perpendicular to the motion of the cam. The value must be +/- 45°.

(Swing Follower only) Arm Pivot X Offset (A), Arm Pivot Y Offset (B), and Arm Length (C). See the illustration for descriptions of (A), (B), and (C).
