Reciprocating Motion using Inclined Disc Mechanism

The transformation of one of the simple motions, such as rotation, into any other motions is often conveniently accomplished by means of a disk cam mechanism. A disk cam mechanism usually consists of two moving elements, the disk and the cam, both mounted on a different fixed frame.

Disk Cam devices are versatile, and almost any arbitrarily specified motion can be obtained. In some instances, they offer the simplest and most compact way to transform motions. The disk rotates in the inclined position. The two cam are fixed on a different shaft but arranged in such a way that both the cams are constantly in contact with the disk. The Inclined disk project can be used mostly to convert rotating motion to reciprocating and vice versa.

A motor rotates the inclined disc shaft. Two cam on a different shaft are placed above the inclined cam shaft. The inclined Disc and the two cams are held together with the help of a small circular rod. This rod makes sure that the rotational motion of the disc in converted to reciprocating motion of the cam and thereby the cam shaft.
