CAM CONV DRV LEVER

Cams are commonly found in foodservice equipment. 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.

Levers are often used with foodservice equipment. For example, a lever is commonly found in beverage, condiment, and ice dispensing equipment where it is used to activate product flow. Coffee urns may use a lever to dispense coffee or hot water for tea. Most soda fountains use levers to dispense soda or other carbonated beverages. The lever is typically located on the front of the fountain and is pressed down to release the beverage into the cup. Two the simplest types of levers used in restaurants are a bottle or can opener which serve to pry off a cap, or punch a hole in a lid.
