Cam follower system cam follower system, a cam and follower system is system/mechanism that uses a cam and follower to create a specific motion. The cam is in most cases merely a flat piece of metal that has had an unusual shape or profile machined onto it. This cam is attached to a shaft which enable it to be turned by applying a turning action to the shaft

Cam followers

Cam and knife edge follower shows an animation of a rotating cam and knife edge follower. As the cam rotates the the follower is pushed up

Crank The crank is used to convert rotary motion to reciprocating or oscillating motion

Crank and Slider Mechanism The crank which is the rotating disc, the slider which slides inside the tube and the connecting rod which joins the parts together

Four-link mechanisms mechanisms are used to convert motion

Pulley shows a small driver pulley pulling round a larger driven pulley. The rpm (revolutions per minute) of the larger driven pulley wheel will be less than the smaller driver pulley wheel. The same principle regarding speed of rotation regarding gears applies to pulley systems as well
