[sə′lin·drə·kəl ′kam]

(mechanical engineering)

A cam mechanism in which the cam follower undergoes translational motion parallel to the camshaft as a roller attached to it rolls in a groove in a circular cylinder concentric with the camshaft.

In order to determine the line profile parameters of the cylindrical cam it is necessary to choose the following data: T--cam rotation period, r--cam cylinder radius, LV = p--follower displacement amplitude and motion law for the follower.

The cylindrical cams model may be achieved by using adequate design software such as AutoCAD, Adams or SolidWorks.
