A cam mechanism for converting rotary motion into a constant velocity reciprocating motion includes a driven shaft rotatable about an axis of rotation. First and second cam members mounted to the driven shaft for conjoined rotation therewith. A first pair of followers is in contact with the first cam member on opposite sides thereof, and a second pair of followers is in contact with the second cam member on opposite sides thereof. The first pair of followers and the second pair of followers mounted to a follower frame for conjoint motion therewith. The first cam member and the second cam member each have a non-cardioid shape cam profile that results in a constant velocity reciprocation motion of the follower frame upon rotation of the driven shaft about the axis of rotation.
