About this document
Cam Design and Mechanism Overview by Nauman Khan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Cams are used to convert rotary motion to oscillatory motion or vice versa. They are commonly used in machines to generate irregular motion profiles. 2. Cam-follower systems can be classified based on the type of follower motion, joint closure, cam shape, follower shape, motion constraints, and motion program. 3. Key considerations for cam design include minimizing jerk to reduce vibration and noise in the machine. High jerk can excite the natural frequencies of the machine.
