To get the most out of cam followers, engineers should know the different variations and factors that affect performance and operational life. Cam followers convert rotary to linear motion and ...

Cams made of tube sections can be bolted to a fixed platen; a cam follower rides on the cams and moves the torch in and out as the table rotates. This makes the cuts needed to properly fit tubes ...

[Teaching Tech] first goes over the basic design and terminology in CAD, and demonstrates it’s use with a cam follower, locking mechanism, cam plate, and a knob that snaps to predefined positions.

A cam mechanism is made up of three main parts: a cam, a follower and a slide. Cams can be different shapes. This one is shaped like a circle, but as you can see, the hole isn’t in the middle.
