A cylindrical cam or barrel cam is a cam in which the follower rides on the surface of a cylinder. In the most common type, the follower rides in a groove cut into the surface of a cylinder. In the most common type, the follower rides in a groove cut into the surface of a cylinder.
A cam and follower mechanism uses the shape of the cam to guide the movement of the follower by direct contact. Kinematic synthesis of a cam and follower mechanism consists of finding the shape of the cam that guides a particular follower through the required movement.

A cam follower, also known as a track follower, [1] is a specialized type of roller or needle bearing designed to follow cam lobe profiles. Cam followers come in a vast array of different configurations, however the most defining characteristic is how the cam follower mounts to its mating part; stud style cam followers use a stud while the yoke style has a hole through the middle.
DOHC cylinder head with intake camshaft lobe highlighted in blue. In piston engines, the camshaft is used to operate the intake and exhaust valves.The camshaft consists of a cylindrical rod running the length of the cylinder bank with a number of cams (discs with protruding cam lobes) along its length, one for each valve.
The cam follower rides on the cam surface. This causes the follower to move up and down. This movement is transmitted to the pistons. This makes the pistons reciprocate. The cam's shape determines the piston's stroke length, timing, and speed. These factors directly influence the engine's performance characteristics. In a cam engine, the cam is ...

The shape of the contacting surfaces of the cam and follower determines the movement of the mechanism. In general a cam and follower mechanism's energy is transferred from cam to follower. The camshaft is rotated and, according to the cam profile, the follower moves up and down. Nowadays, slightly different types of eccentric cam followers are ...
