A turning or sliding piece which, by the shape of its periphery or face, or a groove in its surface, imparts variable or intermittent motion to, or receives such motion from, a rod, lever, or block brought into sliding or rolling contact with it.
A projecting part of a wheel or other moving piece so shaped as to give alternate or variable motion to another piece against which it acts.
a non circular wheel that rotates and moves a follower. It converts the rotary movement of the cam into reciprocating or oscillating movement of the follower. Sometimes a circular wheel mounted off-centre onto a shaft is used as a cam we then call it an eccentric
A moving piece of machinery; a shaft or disk with a shape other than round which gives an eccentric rotation or a reciprocating motion to another wheel, a roller, shaft, etc. or it receives such motion from it.
n. 1. a lock or cylinder component which transfers the rotational motion of a key or cylinder plug to the bolt works of a lock 2. the bolt of a cam lock
a non-circular wheel that rotates in contact with a part called a "follower". Together, the cam and follower convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion.
A metal shaft with oval "lobes" that rotates to open the valves in a four-stroke engine.
A device for converting regular rotary motion to irregular rotary or reciprocating motion. Sometimes the effect of off-center lathe operations or the cam in an engine used to operate valves.
A lever attached to the end of a barrel to activate the lock mechanism.
A device used to control the motion of slide forming machine slides and attachments, and die components.
Usually a tongue fixed to the end of the plug of a cylinder lock or latch.
a machine part fixed to a shaft rotating with constant velocity; transmits reciprocal movement to a linear movement
a rotating disk shaped to convert circular into linear motion
A component attached to a camlock, usually a metal plate or tailpiece, that rotates with the movement of a key.
A rotating eccentric piece attached to the end of a cylinder plug to actuate a lock or latch mechanism.
General term for any eccentric used on a compound bow which produces a draw force relationship that retains the peak weight for an extended period of the draw, thus increasing the amount of energy stored.
A rotating lobe that changes regular circular motion into an irregular circular motion or into a back and forth motion.
An eccentrically shaped rotor that converts rotational movement into linear movement. Cams are used in the operation of valves, contact breaker points, and drum brakes.
Metal disc, either eccentric or notched, commonly used to open and close electrical switches and other mechanical devices.
A rotating piece attached to the end of the cylinder plug to engage the locking mechanism.
A shaped or profiled component used with a cam follower that produces linear or angular motion while rotating to change rotary motion to reciprocating motion.
industry:(Computer Aided Manufacturing) Using computers to control machinery such as lathes, assembly lines, motion-controlled cameras and robotic arms.
An eccentric (off-center) lobe or projection on a rotating shaft; used to transmit a motion at a predetermined time during the rotation of the shaft.
In mechanical terms, any inclined or eccentric surface imparting by sliding contact, a predetermined irregular motion to another part bearing upon it.
shaped steel plate at rear of lock barrel which operates the transfer lever and/or physically deadlocks the cash drawer closed.
reciprocating, oscillating or rotating body which imparts motion to another body known as a follower, with which it is in contact.
The cam is the milled opening on the end of a stud. This opening is used to engage the receptacle and lock the stud in place via the detent in the cam.
A component that translates or rotates to move a contoured surface past a follower; the contours impose a sequence of motions (potentially complex) on the follower
In this publication, a component fastened to the back of a mortise cylinder plug or mortise cylinder thumbturn. When rotated, it engages the lock mechanism and either locks or unlocks.
A rotating piece that imparts motion to a roller moving against its edge.
A rotating surface with rises and falls that opens and closes the switches in a timer.
A projection on a rotating part in machinery, shaped to impart reciprocal or variable motion to the part in contact with it.
(n) A mechanical device used to transform rotary motion into reciprocating motion, using a rolling or sliding contact with another part called a cam follower. Radial cams move the follower perpendicular to the shaft; cylindrical cams move the follower parallel to the shaft. The shape of the contact surface determines the motion of the follower.
An inclined surface that imparts a desired motion to a sliding piece. (This is a generalized small-arms definition.)
A cam is a projecting part of a rotating wheel or shaft that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular path. The cam can be a simple tooth, as is used to deliver pulses of power to a steam hammer, for example, or an eccentric disc or other shape that produces a smooth oscillating motion in the follower which is a lever making contact with the cam.
A cam is a mechanical linkage which translates motion.
