Handbook, 2nd Ed - Cam Design And Manufacturing

Whether you’re a mechanical engineer, a hobbyist, or a student of kinematics, Robert L. Norton’s is widely considered the "Bible" of cam systems.

Compared to the original, the second edition includes expanded content on: for high-speed operation. Cam Design and Manufacturing Handbook, 2nd Ed

Historically, cam design was a trial-and-error process involving hand-drawn layouts and graphical methods. Norton’s second edition pulls the discipline firmly into the 21st century. It emphasizes , focusing on the mathematical functions (like SCCA and B-splines) that govern smooth motion rather than just "connecting the dots." 2.
