Cam mechanisms, characterized by higher pairings, enable followers to achieve predetermined motion patterns. They present several advantages and disadvantages as follows: Advantages: The motion law of the follower can be arbitrarily designed. Cam mechanisms are suitable for applications requiring precise follower movement and can accommodate intermittent motion. The ratio and number of motion to dwell times can be freely specified. They provide high-speed initiation and reliable, accurate actions. By designing the appropriate cam profile, followers can move according to the specified law. Designing medium to low-speed cam motions is relatively straightforward. With the widespread use of CNC machines and computers, especially in recent years, computer-aided design and manufacturing have made cam profile machining much less challenging. Disadvantages: Ensuring good lubrication Read more
