    The document discusses cams and followers, which are components that can convert rotational motion into linear motion. It describes different types of cams (radial and cylindrical) and followers (knife edge, roller, flat faced, spherical faced, reciprocating, oscillating, and radial) based on their shape and motion. Finally, it lists several applications of cams and followers in machinery like engines, packaging equipment, printing presses, and more.

    Applications and Types of

    Cams and Followers

    Geetika K. Gopi
    CAMS
    • A cam is a shaped piece of metal or plastic fixed to a
    rotating shaft. A cam mechanism has three
    parts: cam, slide and follower.
    • The cam shaft rotates continually, turning the cam.
    The follower is a rod that rests on the edge of the
    turning cam. The follower is free to move up and
    down, but is prevented from moving from side to
    side by a slide or guide, so the follower can only do
    three things:
    Rise (move up)
    Fall (move down) or
    Dwell (remain stationary)
    • The cam and follower can convert rotary motion
    (circular motion) into linear motion (movement in a
    straight line).
