Press this button to display the follower acceleration graph in the area to the right. There is a line intersecting the graph at the point of maximum acceleration for each nonlinear curve. Select a line to see its values.
Press this button to display the follower velocity graph in the area to the right. There is a line intersecting the graph at the point of maximum velocity for each nonlinear curve. Select a line to see its values.
Press this button to display the follower displacement graph in the area to the right. Select a zone in the diagram to set the curve type. Select a line to set angular and radial displacements.
The horizontal scale of the diagram. Its values represent angular displacements about the cam.
