Cams are mechanical devices commonly used to convert rotary motion into linear or vice versa. They consist of a rotating element (the cam) and a stationary element (the follower), which contacts the cam as it rotates. Depending on the shape of the cam, it can produce different types of motion, such as constant velocity, simple harmonic motion, or intermittent motion.
Cams can be divided into two categories: with stoppers and without stoppers.
Cams with stoppers can be divided into two subcategories: positive and friction stop cams.
Cams can also be designed with different shapes to produce different types of motion. For example, a sinusoidal cam produces simple harmonic motion, while a pear-shaped cam produces an asymmetrical motion profile. The choice of cam shape depends on the application and the desired motion profile.
