Cams are used to give specific output function.. In this work, the design parameters of a cam mechanism with translating flat face follower is investigated. While designing the cam, number of constraints regarding the pressure angle, the contact stress, etc. are taken into account. Design parameters, like the cam base circle radius, nose radius and the minimization of the contact stress must be taken into account. Finally after designing the cam with flat faced follower, it is investigated with the frictional forces. The main objective of this is to determine the stresses in Cam, under linear, bilinear analysis, for four stroke petrol engine using Ansys 14.5 software package.
