CAM WITH SPECIFIED CONTOURS
• The cams discussed
so far are usually very difficult and costly to manufacture.
• In
actual practice, in order to achieve ease of manufacturing and cheaper cost of
production of cams, the cams with specified contours are used.
•
In cams with specified contours, the cam profiles consist of circular arcs and
straight lines.
• The
two types of cams with specified contours are:
1. Tangent cams, and
2. Circular arc cams.
