A cam is an elliptical or tear-drop shaped form mounted to a rotating shaft. It is used to transfer rotating motion to linear motion. As the shaft rotates, the cam pushes on a rod that moves it back and forth as the rod follows the contour of the cam.

How does a cam mechanism work?
When you turn a cam, the rod stays on it for the whole time. So if you cut out or add a piece to the cam, it changes the affect on how high or low the action goes.

What is the function of a Cam?
A cam is a rotating component used in a mechanism in order to transform a movement from a circular to a reciprocating motion. A crank performs the opposite action. A common example of a cam mechanism is that found on a car engine where the camshaft translates the rotary motion of the engine into a reciprocating motion to operate the intake and exhaust valves on the engine cylinders. Please see the related links for an example animation and more detailed explanation.
