Good cam design begins at CRV Lancaster starting with evaluation of the initial problem facing the customer.

• Investigation: We investigate the best physical type of cam to fit your application: Plate cam, box, barrel, ribbed barrel, index, end, or linear... all within our capability.
  
  
• Attention to Details: Special attention is given to the geometry, which will provide the smoothest acceleration and/or perform the functions required. Whether it's a simple harmonic curve for easy displacement, modified sine for high-speed operation, special polynomial curve to impart a motion for performance of a special duty or.... the curve is computer generated for accuracy and defition.
  
  
• Application information: such as stroke and duration, speed and load are input to obtain computed outputs for many phusical characteristics and kinematic and dynamic properties. These ouputs, including displacement, velocity, acceleration, radius of curvature, pressure angle, etc., aid in choosing the material, cam follower size, tolerances, heat treating and other vital characteristics of the cam.
  
  
• Communication: Based on our analysis & client's needs, we recommend the best possible solution for our client.
