Cam Component Generators

Designs and calculates disc, linear and cylindrical cams of a follower of translating or swinging arm type. You can calculate and design cam parameters completely and graph results for motion parameters are available. You can choose among many lift motions. You can add your own lift motion (tab delimited text file).

The generators design cams based on the cam properties of maximum lift, acceleration, velocity, or pressure angle.

Tip: See the Engineer's Handbook for calculation formulas for designing cams.
