Flex Cam – Compact Cam Applications

Flex Cam – Example 1

Flex Cam – Upwards Cam Piercing

Piercing operations in various negative angled directions

Four 40kN Flex Cams in operation with mechanical pads

Flex Cam – Example 2

Flex Cam – Driver to Cam ratio

Problem

No room for driver and 1:1 motion not possible. Parts with and without holes are needed.

Solution

Power units 40kN stroke 25 and Cam units 15kN stroke 50 are used. A movable driver for Power units are used.
