Cam Manufacturing Services

Cam manufacturing services fabricate cams to customer specifications and often provide design assistance. A cam converts rotary motion into linear motion. In an internal combustion engine, the cam shaft converts the rotary motion of the engine into the linear motion used to lift the cylinder valves. A crankshaft does the opposite; it converts linear motion into rotary motion. In an internal combustion engine, the crankshaft converts the up-and-down motion of the pistons into rotary motion. Cam manufacturing services use specialize equipment such as machining and turning centers under CNC computer control to produce cams to customer specifications. Cam manufacturing services produce a variety of work, from small detailed pieces to large castings, in a variety of materials, including high temperature alloys such as nickel and titanium alloys. A cam manufacturing service can update older cam data and supply cam designs as needed (manufacturing output files and/or master cams). Cam grinding involves surface finishing of cam shafts. To improve results, camshaft grinding machines can use advanced abrasives such as cubic boron nitride (CBN).
