Re: CAD: Making a cam mechanism

Attached is a CAM generated in Solidworks 2007. Your original post is unclear as to whether you're looking for a radius or diameter of 2"; this is built with a 2" final radius. It's trivial to make another with smaller or larger dimensions.

This was made with Solidworks' Toolbox Cam tool. It automagically generates the proper sketch geometry for the cam you need based on a series of parameters. This is the first time I've really used it, so I don't know much about its limitations, but making this first one work was pretty straightforward.
