A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used especially in transforming rotary motion into linear motion. [1] [2] It is often a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular shape) that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular
One group of parts is connected to the rotating shaft and the other to the machine's case. The spring keeps the elements tight against each other, maintaining the seal and allowing for wear. In mechanical engineering , an end-face mechanical seal (often shortened to mechanical seal ) is a type of seal used in rotating equipment, such as pumps ...
