Abstract
A cam powered mechanism which uses two cam forms, a swing arm, and turret to drive an output shaft with a compound radial and axial movement. An arrangement in which a cam follower is positioned opposite each planar surface of the rectangular spline connecting the turret and output shaft acts to increase turret strength and reduces the size of the mechanism.
