4.1 Introduction ◼ 1 What is a Cam? ◼ 2 Cam Mechanisms ◼ 3 Application
Cam and follower aa cam may be defined as a machine element having a curved outline or a curved groove, which by its oscillation or rotation motion, gives a predetermined specified motion to another element called the follower
Cam and Follower ◼ A cam may be defined as a machine element having a curved outline or a curved groove, which, by its oscillation or rotation motion, gives a predetermined specified motion to another element called the follower
2 Cam Mechanisms a cam mechanism usually consists of two moving elements the cam and the follower mounted on a fixed frame Cam mechanism is a mechanism which is conveniently used to transform one of the simple motions, such as rotation into any other motions, such as translation oscillation

3 Application The cam has a very important function in the operation of many classes of machines especially those of the automatic type such as printing presses, shoe machinery, textile machinery, gear-cutting machines and screw machines. In any class of machinery in which automatic control and accurate timing are paramount the cam is an indispensable part of mechanism The possible applications of cams are unlimited and their shapes occur in great variety.
