Abstract

As outlined in Chapter 1, spatial cams are by far the most varied type, and, for this reason, their classification is very difficult. We will focus on a very specific type of spatial cam mechanism in this chapter, while trying to maintain the spirit of Chapters 4 and 5. We will devote this chapter to cylindrical cams with a translating follower, a solid model of which is shown in Fig. 6.1.1.
