How to assemble cam and follower in inventor?


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody! I need some help because I don't understand how I can put together a cam and its follower so that I can make them move. Attached to this post there are my parts. My goal is to make in contact the tip of the follower and the lateral surface of the cam, and then the follower should go up and down while the cam rotates. Thanks for your help :)

gazza_au: the video is useful, but I have another kind of follower with a tip instead of a rotating element. Do you know how I can add a joint in this case?

Can you save the parts in a previous version so i can open them ? I only have Inventor 2015.

In Dynamic Simulation Goto Insert Joint and Select "Sliding : Point Curve", Rest is mentioned on video posted by gazza_au

 

Before doing the Simulation you'll need to constraint both the part in an Assembly Environment.
