conversion of angular acceleration
(OP)
I am using software that gives angular acceleration in deg/deg^2. How do I convert this to deg/sec^2?

If you are looking at the error created in a gear (say) then the torsional acceleration of the gear wheel would be naturally measured in deg/sec^2, for a given rotation speed
BUT, the acceleration is actually caused by geometrical considerations, so if the gear spins twice as fast the accelerations double. So the intrinsic measure of the acceleration is deg/deg^2

RE: conversion of angular acceleration
The result comes form cam design software using an oscillating follower. There is no input for the speed of the cam and I believe that is why the follower angular acceleration is given in deg/deg^2. I agee that the solution is most likly multiplying by the speed of the cam squared to change the units to deg/sec^2.
Thanks again to all
