Abstract:
A pair of spaced-apart cam disks disposed along a common power shaft, with a pair of cam followers disposed within channels formed in opposing inner surfaces of the cam disks, forms a balanced arrangement for creating linear reciprocating motion from the rotation of the pair of cam disks. A linear motion shaft is coupled to the cam followers. As the cam disks synchronously rotate and the cam followers trace the path formed by the paired channels, this rotational motion is converted into linear, reciprocal motion that provides the translational movement of the linear motion shaft.
