A simple device, yet one that has allowed us to explore and map the world.

It is often a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular shape) that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular path.

    What things use a cam mechanism?

    Cams are commonly used in engines to control valves (in which the valve is the follower), sewing machines, children’s toys and many other mechanical applications. The shapes of individual Cams are designed to produce specific types of motion.

    What is Cam pressure angle?

    The pressure angle represents the steepness of cam profile, is the angle between the normal to the pitch curve at a point and the direction of the follower motion. It varies in magnitude at all instants of the follower motion.

    How does a cam work?

    How do cams work? Cams generally do the opposite job to cranks: they turn rotary motion into reciprocating motion. Whatever you need to move up and down (or back and forth) rests on top of an oval wheel, sometimes mounted off-center (the cam). As the cam rotates, the object it supports rises up and down.
