Cams are mechanical components that transform rotary motion into intermittent or oscillating motion according to a precise law of motion.
They are a strategic element in automatic assembly and process systems, where precision, repeatability and perfect synchronisation between operating units make all the difference.
For over 50 years CDS has been designing and manufacturing custom-made cams, offering customers experience, know-how and Italian-made quality. By tailoring the cam profile to specific kinematic requirements, we provide a reliable, high-performance solution for motion control in the most demanding industrial processes.
Profiles
The cam shape is designed around the required motion law, taking into account key parameters such as speed, acceleration, pressure angles and applied loads. This engineering approach ensures optimal dynamic behaviour, reduced wear and high positioning accuracy at speed
Co-design:
Cams are developed in close collaboration with the customer’s engineering team. We study and design any type of cam profile, optimising motion laws for each mechanism and application.
Profiles and materials
Profiles are typically CNC machined and induction hardened for long life and dimensional stability, but we can also supply cams in alternative materials and treatments when required by the application.
High precision at high speeds
CDS cams are ideal for applications that demand continuous, rapid and synchronised movements. The optimised profile and hardened surface guarantee accurate motion control even at high speeds.
High load capacity
Optimal distribution of forces, ideal for mechanisms subject to intensive and prolonged cycles.
