Radial cam lift

[Anonymous]

I’m trying to draw a cam lift on a part and have no clue how to do it. The part is .811 in dia and the cam depth at the low side is .240. The radial arc degree would be 56 degrees.

I am not sure about the 56 degree part but attached in my attempt.  Maybe it will give you a starting idea.

Sorry for the crude drawing, I’m not at my computer at the moment, it gives more of a representation. I noted the center line of the part, that is the bottom of the cam, the 56 degree noted is where it plains in with the top of the part.

Sorry, this does not help me figure out how the 56 degrees comes into play.  You statement makes not sense to me so either a better layout to define what you are looking for or just try it yourself and ask if you get hung.

This may help, this is what I’m trying to do

@TheCADWhisperer has a good thread on similar model.  Perhaps he can locate it better than I.

I feel I am missing some specifications like what is the diameter of the path cutter but I used .125 anyway.  As @etfrench  suggests, you maybe had better wait for other gentleman's input.  Model is attached anyway.

That looks to be exactly what I'm trying to do. thank you so much

I’m struggling with the sweep part, I’m new to modeling, I’ve been able to get things done, but the sweep part I’m lost on.

I don't have time to look at your particular problem, but perhaps this more general solution might get you where you need to go.
