Abstract
The paper proposes an original numerical method for computation of the base circle radius of the cam mechanism with oscillating flat-face follower. The base circle radius is a parameter in order to optimise the design of the cam profile. The synthesized cam profile should be continuously convex without inflection or singularity points. The numerical method uses the conditions to avoid the singularities and to achieve a strictly positive curvature radius.
