CAM Timers Market Record Stellar CAGR During Forecast Period

CAM Timers: Introduction

• A CAM timer is an electromechanical device that automatically controls the sequence of events
• A CAM in a device is a rotating part that transforms rotary motion into linear motion. It is connected to one or more switches. Series of such CAMs are arranged on a shaft that is driven by an electric motor. The motor rotates at a fixed speed, whereas the camshaft is driven by a speed-reducing gearbox at a low speed. Indentations or protrusions on CAMs operate switches at different times. Owing to the alignment of CAMs and switches, complex sequences of closing and opening of switches can be completed. These switches can then be made to run different components of the controlled system such as valves and motors.

Key Drivers of Global CAM Timers Market

• CAM timers are easier to set up and use and they do not always require any software programming. Also, they are easier to maintain and are suitable for small-scale automation tasks.
• Furthermore, they represent a low-cost alternative for microcontroller-based solutions. Hence, they are used in a variety of industrial automation and process control applications across the world.
• The above-mentioned factors are expected to drive the global CAM timers market during the forecast period

Wear and Issues related to Reliability to Hamper Global CAM Timers Market

• Since CAM timers are electromechanical devices, they are subject to wear and issues related to reliability. Hence, relay-control and microprocessor/PLC-based solutions that offer improved flexibility and complicated control logic functions are increasingly being preferred over CAM timers.
• In spite of this, CAM timers are expected to be used in time-dependent control processes for smaller-scale automation tasks, especially in developing countries such as India and China in the near future
• The impact of this restraint is expected to be high in developed countries of North America and Europe, whereas it would be medium in developing economies in Asia Pacific in the near future
