摘要
The necessary continuity of the second order derivative or curvature of the cam profile has been analyzed. In order to guarantee the smoothness of the cam radius data, a proper method with which it could be possible to revise directly the first and the second order difference coefficients as well as the slope has been proposed. This method, applicable to different cam mechanisms by using a unified formula of correction, possesses the characteristics of simplicity, intuition and precision. Meanwhile, a cubic spline function for fitting the cam profile has also been described.
