CAM DRIVE MECHANISM

摘要

For the conversion of a reciprocatory into a rotary motion or vice versa, a reciprocating member is acting upon at least one cam of a driveshaft. Among the benefits and advantages resulting from the choice of the cam profile, there is the possibility of a single cylinder engine which is full balanced, with respect to forces and moments, and a three-in-line which is balanced as perfectly as the Wankel rotary, i.e. perfect balance not only as regards inertia forces and inertia moments, but also as regards inertia torques. It turns out that the form of the profile of the cam and the location of its axis of rotation, relatively to the axis of the reciprocation are substantially limitless.
