Advantages of Mechanical Cams 

Cams are used in many mechanical systems for their ability to produce motion. We use them because they offer various benefits and advantages over other types of mechanisms.

What are the advantages of mechanical cams?

Cams can produce a series of linear movements 

Cams and follower mechanisms can be used to produce linear motion. The range of linear motions is realised and determined at the design stage when designing the stroke length.

Accuracy can be achieved

A high level of accuracy can be achieved through the use of high-quality cam mechanisms. This is why cams are used in applications where tolerances are tight and accuracy is critical, such as engine and timing applications.

Compact system

Cams and follower mechanisms can reduce the number of mechanical components used in a system. They can do this by using a small space and a small number of components to produce a range of different forms of motion.

They can convert types of motion

Cams and follower mechanisms are used in a variety of mechanical systems because they can convert the type of mechanical motion. They can be used to produce linear motion and convert rotary motion into other forms, such as oscillatory motion, and vice versa. This is useful in mechanical systems that use a range of motions as they can be easily integrated into the system.

Easy to understand and diagnose

Cams and followers are mechanical systems that are easy to understand how they work. Only a basic mechanical understanding is required to understand how they work and to diagnose any problems with them.

The life of a cam can be determined by frequent inspections to test for wear and identify any problems that may be causing it. When done properly, planned preventative maintenance can greatly extend the life of a cam.
