A Variable-Speed Approach for Preventing Cam-Follower Separation

The follower separation is a major impediment to the operating speed increase of force-closed cam mechanisms. This problem traditionally is solved by increasing the spring preload or spring rate to enlarge the return force. An alternative approach with variable cam speed is proposed to prevent follo...
