Here's something that looks like the perfect thing for moving the grinder head on a CNC cam grinder.

Looks like the reaction time could be very fast, especially if both differential motor speed and reversing are used. A plain eccentric timed to the shaft rotation won't do for most camshafts. Flat tappet cams are usually egg shaped, with a rather pointy small end and a very small side to side taper around the base circle so the tappet and other valvetrain components will rotate. (The Chevy 350 smallblock V8 is a bit notorious for tappets failing to rotate then quickly chewing up themselves and the camshaft.) Roller tappet cams are usually "racetrack" shaped with a round end, nearly flat sides and no taper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
