At 50 RPM, it seems the grinder head could follow the typical engine cam profile just fine. You wouldn't want a 100 kg grinder head to be moved by a NEMA size 23 motor, but a proper choice of motor and drive should handle it fine. The travel should be quite a bit less than 25 mm from max to min on the cam, unless you are doing locomotive or giant marine engine parts.
