Cam and Follower Design, Assembly and Animation in SolidWorks

#mechanicaldesign #mechanicalmates #solidworkstutorial Cam follower assembly, animation and design is shown in this video using solidworks. A cam and follower mechanism is a profiled shape mounted on a shaft that causes a lever or follower to move. Cam and follower are used to convert rotary motion into linear (reciprocating) motion. As the cam rotates, the followers rise and fall in a process known as reciprocating motion. Types Of Cam There are many types of cams describe below: Disk or Plate cam. Cylindrical cam. Translating cam. Wedge cam. Spiral cam. Heart-shaped cam. Conjugate cam Globoidal Cams Spherical cam
