Cam Mechanism
Description & Specification
Technical Specifications
The Cam mechanisms are non-uniform translatable gears
that help convert uniform rotating drive motions into non-uniform drive
motions with or without latching. Generally speaking, cam mechanism
consists of cams, engaging members and the frame. The desired movement
path is defined by the geometry of the cam and produced by pressing a
contour or a profile on the engaging member.
The unit is used to
clearly demonstrate the function of a cam mechanism. Cams are available
in different shapes. A roller plunger, flat plunger or cam follower can
be used as the engaging member. The stroke is determined by measuring
the travel. An angular scale indicates the corresponding angle of
rotation.
