Cam and roller mechanisms are often used in engines, repeating machinery and other manufacturing applications. A cam consists of a rotating shaft that usually has some oblong or non-regular shape used to induce the desired linear motion. There are radial cams, which translate motion along one axis, and even cylindrical cams that can translate motion along 2-axis. The roller, sometimes called a follower, is the piece that follows along with the cam’s motion, and it is typically restricted to a strictly linear field of motion.
