The acceleration of the reciprocating roller follower when it has contact with the straight flanks of the tangent cam, is given by
ω². (r₁ r₂). (1 - cos² θ)
ω². (r₁ + r₂). (1 + cos² θ)
ω². (r₁ + r₂). [(2 - cos² θ)/cos³ θ]
ω². (r₁ - r₂). (1 - sin² θ)
ω². (r₁ r₂). (1 - cos² θ)
ω². (r₁ + r₂). (1 + cos² θ)
ω². (r₁ + r₂). [(2 - cos² θ)/cos³ θ]
ω². (r₁ - r₂). (1 - sin² θ)
