cams
Lopsided engine wheels
Cams is the plural of cam, a rotating or sliding piece in machinery that converts rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa.
Cams appear in engines, locks, and mechanical devices: The camshaft's cams open and close the valves.
In climbing, cams are spring-loaded devices that grip rock crevices for protection.
Informally, cams means cameras, especially webcams: She has multiple cams set up for streaming.
