Top 100 Key Players companies in Cam
by Most Patent Citation in the world in 2022

The Cam top 100 is Discovery PatSnap’ annual ranking of the top 100 Most Patent Citation Cam Key Players in the world. Discovery has identified the top key players, startups & unicorns, fast-growings, news entrants in 2022, ranking from differnt perspectives, including patent filing intensity, academic research capability, news media heat. The company list is generated from various data types.
A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used especially in transforming rotary motion into linear motion. It is often a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular shape) that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular path. The cam can be a simple tooth, as is used to deliver pulses of power to a steam hammer, for example, or an eccentric disc or other shape that produces a smooth reciprocating (back and forth) motion in the follower, which is a lever making contact with the cam.
