Mechanical cams can take on different configurations depending on the type of motion required, the available space and the dynamic performance needed.
Spheroconical Cam for Indexers with Non-Parallel Shafts
Optimization of accelerations and loads based on the application
Three-dimensional cam systems derived from the evolution of conjugate planar profiles, designed to transmit motion between shafts with variable inclination up to 90°, without compromise in terms of precision and smoothness of operation. The conjugate geometry ensures constantly controlled contact throughout the entire cycle, with preload during the dwell phase to eliminate play and ensure kinematic stability even under the most demanding conditions. The profile is developed using motion laws that allow targeted optimization of accelerations, loads and system dynamics based on the application.
Spheroconical Cams with Multiple Oscillating Followers
Flexible configuration with matching or opposing motions
Designed for extremely high-frequency operating cycles, they are the ideal solution for handling light loads within extremely small working volumes, where repeatability and precise motion control are essential. The architecture allows controlled oscillation of the followers from 0° to 90°, either in the same or opposite direction, for maximum configuration freedom and flexibility.
Globoidal Cams
Smooth transmission and stability under the most demanding operating conditions
High-performance globoidal cams, designed for high-speed, high-load applications where precision and operating continuity are critical requirements. Profile and contact optimization ensures smooth motion transmission, high load capacity and long-term stability, even under the most demanding operating conditions. Thanks to an integrated design, production and testing process, we guarantee consistent, repeatable performance, with rigorous control at every manufacturing stage to meet even the most demanding specifications.
Multi-Profile Flat Cams
Wide size range with targeted materials and treatments
High-performance flat cam systems with multiple high-precision ground profiles, supplied complete with structural support and provision for the drive system. Our manufacturing capabilities cover a wide size range, with materials and heat treatments carefully selected to ensure reliability, durability and high performance in every application context.
Internal Cylindrical Cams
Single- or double-roller configurations for high loads
Internal cylindrical cams available with single- or double-roller profile configurations, depending on load and dynamic requirements. The double-roller solution provides a significant increase in load capacity and operating speed compared to the single-roller version, while maintaining continuous contact and kinematic stability even under demanding conditions. In the most common configurations, the stationary cam drives a series of rotating followers, at constant or variable speed, imposing a combined rotary-oscillating motion precisely defined by the profile and the motion law it generates. Our production technology allows us to achieve small cam diameters relative to roller size, resulting in compact solutions that minimize radial dimensions and simplify the machine's overall design.
External-Profile Flat Cams
Ground profiles for work cycles under demanding conditions
Cams designed to convert rotary torque into linear force, ideal for power applications and lifting movements where precision and smoothness are required. High-precision ground profile minimizes surface wear and ensures extended work cycles even under demanding operating conditions.
Multi-Sector Grooved Flat Cams
Sector configuration for format changes and fast maintenance
The missing sector allows the load to be automatically released in emergency conditions, protecting the machine and components from overloads, operating anomalies or emergency situations. The sector configuration allows the cam to be installed and replaced on already assembled shafts, drastically reducing machine downtime for format changes and maintenance costs.
Linear Profile Cams
Managing high loads and critical translations
Mechanical solutions designed to manage high loads and critical translational movements, where positioning reliability is a primary requirement. The cam's geometry ensures a positive, safe mechanical stop at predefined points along the stroke, guaranteeing load stability without relying exclusively on external brakes or electronic systems. Cam profiles are designed to meet design constraints and generate controlled acceleration ramps, minimizing inertial stress on the translated loads.
Three-Profile Flat Cams
Integration of synchronous movements and secondary functions
Three-profile flat cams for synchronous movements. The integration of two conjugate profiles and a third dedicated profile makes it possible to control secondary guiding, tracking, control or locking movements in perfect phase with the main axis. These cams are used where constant, dynamic interaction is required between the primary motion and handling or safety subsystems. Using a single cam for multiple functions guarantees intrinsic, long-term consistent precision.
Cylindrical Cams
Converting rotary motion into intermittent or oscillating motion
Cylindrical cams are robust, precise solutions at the heart of many systems that convert constant rotary motion into intermittent or oscillating movements. They can be manufactured with a grooved or ridge profile, where the ridge variant ensures a play-free roller-cam engagement, guaranteeing preloaded dwells and maximum dynamic stability. Careful study of the geometric configuration, motion laws, tolerances, materials and heat treatments makes it possible to design and build the ideal cam for each specific application.
Flat Cams with Oscillating Sector
Trajectory adaptation with differentiated motion laws
Double-profile flat cams with double roller and oscillating sector. The double profile ensures bidirectional motion transmission, eliminating mechanical play and improving the system's repeatability and performance. The oscillating sector makes it possible to modify a specific portion of the motion law, adapting the follower's trajectory to downstream production needs and allowing different motion laws to be used within the same cam.
Flat Cams with Variable Conjugate Profiles
Adjustment of oscillation and motion law under load
Kinematic solutions for the dynamic control of the motion law, ideal for applications requiring real-time motion changes. The conjugate-profile geometry allows continuous variation of the output lever's oscillation angle and motion law, adjusting it according to the shaft's axial position. The cam's axial sliding movement allows the lever's motion to be modified under load, eliminating the need to slow down or stop the production cycle to change configuration. The combined motion ensures perfect synchronization in winding processes for wires, fibers or flexible materials, where consistent motion is critical to the quality of the finished product.
