Cams TRIZ Cases

A movable friction plate chain wheel and pressurizing shaft help chain CVTs transmit higher power with lower loss and mechanical steplessness.

Large drilled openings plus insert elements create precise oblique spray channels in shaft tubes without costly laser or electrochemical machining.

A holding cam and restriction roller replace spring biasing to support follower arms, cutting energy loss, part count, and assembly effort.

A compliant buffer between the cam and follower smooths surface irregularities, reducing chatter, wear, and waveform error.

Multiple welds at large and small radii stiffen the cam phaser cover, preventing pressure bulging while simplifying fabrication.

Local inductive hardening of the latching transfer region cuts warping and machining while preserving wear resistance for smooth axial slide movement.

A wedge-cam and constraint mechanism delivers precise tilt in tight spaces while holding angular position without continuous electrical power.

A buffer between the cam and follower smooths surface irregularities, improving clock waveform accuracy while reducing vibration, noise, and wear.

Geared cam bodies and segmented die motion form accurate circumferential pipe grooves with low torque, reduced flare, and less operator adjustment.

Bearing-region clearance and seat-region toothing secure the camshaft sleeve while preventing deformation, friction, and diameter change.

Eccentric and swashplate drive mechanisms move wind turbine power to a ground-level generator, cutting tower-top weight and maintenance cost.

A dependent VCT linkage adjusts a second concentric camshaft from one primary actuator, cutting axial length, complexity, and cost.

Counter-rotating asymmetric cams convert piston motion into balanced dual shaft output, delivering high torque at low speed without complex reduction drives.

A flipper cam and lead screw let a sensor translate and rotate inside a tight reconnaissance pod for continuous left- and right-side imaging.

A press-fit stamped steel outer cam in the rake lever cuts part count and cost while maintaining reliable steering column clamp force.

A camshaft compresses and expands an air bladder to create programmable pressure profiles for soft robots without complex valves or electronics.

A hybrid hydraulic-electric camshaft phaser shortens fluid paths in concentric camshafts to maintain pressure without larger pumps or higher energy use.

A switch member and elastic cam mechanism separate the developing roller during idle periods to prevent drum damage, deformation, and toner waste.

A cam-guided lock path and resilient detent keep the actuator pin from sticking mid-stroke, avoiding false locking under angular misalignment.

Segmented form-fit and force-fit toothing lets a hub slide, align, and lock on a camshaft with less heat, shorter travel, and lower tooth damage.

A gearwheel conical receiving feature creates a common grinding center, reducing camshaft position errors and tolerance mismatch.
