Abstract
A cam device includes a cam, a cam roller, a rotary drive device, a linear motion guide device, and an action unit. A cam profile of the cam includes a rotary end at a circumferential one end, at which a camshaft is non-rotatable in a reverse direction by the cam roller, a cam surface from the rotary end to the circumferential other end, on which the cam roller is abuttable, and formed of a single CV curve from a vicinity of the rotary end to the circumferential other end of the cam surface, and a non-continuous section formed between the rotary end and the circumferential other end of the cam surface and not in contact with the cam roller.
Claims8
A cam device comprising:
- a cam integrally attached to a camshaft to rotatably move around the camshaft in forward and reverse directions, wherein the cam is a single cam and is the only cam of the cam device;
- a cam roller linearly moved by a rotational motion of the cam around the camshaft;
- a rotary drive device that rotationally drives the camshaft to minimize the cam device by controlling a forward rotation, a reverse rotation, a rotation stop, and a rotation speed;
- a linear motion guide device that guides a driven member that is linearly moved along with the cam roller;
- and
- an action unit attached to the driven member, wherein
- a cam surface forming a cam profile of the cam includes a rotary end at a circumferential one end, at which the camshaft is non-rotatable in the reverse direction by the cam roller, a lift region from the rotary end to the circumferential other end, on which the cam roller is abuttable, and formed of a single constant velocity curve from a vicinity of the rotary end to the circumferential other end, and a non-continuous section formed between the rotary end and the circumferential other end.
