What is Cylindrical cam?
Cylindrical cam is also called as, barrel cam
The cylindrical object is cam, and the running object is follower
The cam has a groove cut on its surface and the follower rides on it
These cams are principally used to convert, the rotational motion to the linear motion, parallel to the rotational axis of the cylinder
Cylindrical cams can provide motions, that involve more than a single rotation of the cylinder, and generally provide positive positioning, removing the need for a spring or other provision, to keep the follower in contact with the control surface
The Applications of cylindrical cam are, machine tool drives, such as reciprocating saws, and shift control barrels in sequential transmissions, such as on most modern motorcycles.
