Think of reciprocating motion, and cams — those kings of kinematic linkages — may come to mind. For good reason: Cams have been the traditional gold standard for reciprocating motion since the dawn of ...

Amacoil's linear motion platform is driven by a rolling ring drive that reciprocates automatically without requiring motor reversal. Using a control knob on the assembly, adjustments to linear speed ...

They look harmless enough, but cams are some of the most complicated parts of your engine. In simple terms, cams are long, cylindrical-shaped shafts containing several irregular-shaped lobes that ...

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, printing ...
