A cam is a simple mechanism that converts rotary motion (movement that goes round in a circle) into linear motion (movement in a straight line). These mechanisms can be found in car engines ...

Cam mechanisms are essential components in various mechanical systems, serving as a means to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The optimization of cam profiles is crucial for enhancing the ...

the development of semi-analytical solutions for systems with clearance nonlinearity and periodic excitation has provided new insights into the steady-state response of cam-follower mechanisms.

Ever wonder what those camshaft specification numbers really mean and how they affect engine performance? On episode 19 of Engine Masters, David Freiburger explains cam lift, duration, lobe ...
