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.
