Question

Tangent cam with reciprocating follower is an example of cams with specified contours.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in examination.

I'd like to ask this question from Tangent Cam with Reciprocating Roller Follower topic in portion Cams of Machine Dynamics

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

The best I can explain: Tangent cams are symmetric about the center line of the cam shaft and hence they fall into a category of cams with specified contours.
