| Description | For disk cam mechanisms, the motion relationship
between cam and follower is not completely determined. It needs some
auxiliary forces, e.g., the gravity force or spring force, to avoid
the separation between cam and follower during operation. Therefore,
the positive motion cam mechanism is the one
whose cam can determinately drive the follower, i.e., cam and follower
keeps contact during the overall operation, without using auxiliary
forces. For the shown models, this cam mechanism has a disk cam whose
profile is formed by three equal-radius arcs. Based on this special
geometry, its cam and follower can keep contact over the cycle of motion.
