Product Description
Beginning at an introductory level and progressing to more advanced topics, this comprehensive handbook provides all the information needed to properly design, model, analyze, specify, and manufacture cam-follower systems. The reader will find complete coverage of:

Proper Cam Design Techniques
Single- and Multi-Dwell Cams
Classical Cam Functions
Polynomial Cams
Spline Functions for Cams
Pressure Angle & Radius of Curvature
Radial and Barrel Cams
Translating & Oscillating Followers
Roller & Flat-Faced Followers
Forward & Inverse Dynamic Analyses
Residual Vibrations
Polydyne & Splinedyne Cams
Cam Profile Definition
Cutter Compensation
Conjugate Cams
Cam Materials & Manufacturing Techniques
Stress Analysis of the Cam Follower Joint
Lubrication of the Cam Follower Joint
Measurement of Cam Follower Dynamics
Extensive Bibliography of the Cam Literature
Case Studies of Cam Designs
Cam and Linkage Design Programs on CD-ROM

Additionally, this unique book is accompanied by a 90-day trial demonstration copy of the Professional Version of Dynacam for Windows V. 7.0. Written by the author and used worldwide, this program solves the equations described in the book and allows in its fully licensed version the design, dynamic modeling, analysis, and generation of follower center, cam surface, and cutter coordinate data for any cam. It also defines conjugate cams for any application.

Also included are 90-day trial demonstration copies of programs Fourbar, Sixbar, and Slider for the design of cam-follower linkages.

Cam Design and Manutacturing Handbook January 15, 2008

This is a very well written and easy to understand text for a topic as complex as cams. The only thing I missed was coverage of how to skew rise or fall inflection points away from of 50%. That's a small detail considering the depth of the mathematics that was covered. If I could only have one cam book, this one would be it.
