Cam Design Handbook

In this guide to cam manufacture and design, Rothbart (dean emeritus, College of Science and Engineering,Fairleigh Dickinson University) examines the advantages of cams over other motion devices, describes computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques, and provides information on numerical controls for manufacturing, cam curves, cam profile geometry, cam hardware, and cam system dynamics. Information is applicable in industrial and commercial machinery, automotive performance and optimization, and microelectromechanical systems.
