Abstract
A cam assembly in a linear friction welding system includes two power shafts. Each of the shafts have two timing gears mounted thereupon. For one of the shafts, one of the timing gears includes a slot extending within the timing gear which is formed as an arc about a center of rotation of the power shaft. The other timing gear on that shaft includes a fixed pin which extends into the slot. A cross-over shaft is operably connected to both power shafts.
