Cam Mechanism is a mechanical system consisting of a cam and a follower, where the cam's irregular shape imparts a prescribed motion to the follower through direct contact, distinguishing it from other linkage mechanisms by enabling precise control of displacement, velocity, and acceleration in a compact form.
