DESCRIPTION:
A cam may be defined as a rotating or a reciprocating
element of a mechanism which imparts a rotating,
reciprocating or oscillating motion to another element termed
as follower. In most of the cases the cam is connected to a
frame, forming a turning pair and the follower is connected to
the frame to form a sliding pair. The cam and the follower form
a three-link mechanism of the higher pair type. The three links
of the mechanism are:
 The cam, which is the driving link and has a curved or a
straight contact surface
 The follower, which is the driven link and it gets motion
by contact with the surface of the cam.
 The frame, which is used to support the cam and guide
the follower.

EXPERIMENTS:
 To find out the cam and follower behavior at different follower movement
 To study the different types of cam and follower with their practical uses.
 To find out the cam follower displacement curve at different motion.
 To find out jump phenomenon.
