Roller following a cam profile?
Roller following a cam profile?
(OP)
I have a roller that is spring loaded against a cam. The cam is in fact a disk with numerous bites out of it such that the roller dips in and out as the disk rotates.
Is it possible to mate the roller to a specified profile so that it follows when I rotate the disk?

You'll want the Fit Spline tolerance to be fairly tight if you need high accuracy, but it works. (This also works for animations.)
