Best Answer

A hair clipper is nothing more than an electric motor with a cutting blade attached to it. The motor shaft is usually connected to the blade in a fashion that moves it side to side. One way to do that is by connecting the motor shaft to a wheel, cam, or rod that changes the rotational motion of the shaft to the desired motion of the blade: side to side, up and down, etc. The method commonly used is an eccentric ( a cam lobe ) connected to the motor shaft. The eccentric is then placed into or onto the cutting blade which moves in a guide. If you look close while a hair clipper is running, you can see that the motion of the blade. It moves slightly up and down as well as the desired side to side motion. That is a result of the offset of the eccentric from dead center of the motor shaft as it makes a revolution.
