Description

Definition

The Billhook cam 000010.1 is a precisely engineered cam component and a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part for Claas balers. It is a critical element within the knotter system, specifically designed to govern the motion of the billhook assembly. Its specific part number ensures an exact fit and correct operational profile for the intended baler models.

Function and Role

This cam’s primary role is to convert the continuous rotary motion of the knotter drive into a specific, timed, back-and-forth movement for the billhook. Its functions are:

• Motion Control: As the cam rotates, its unique, non-circular profile interacts with a follower. This profile is shaped to dictate the precise path and timing of the billhook’s movement.

• Phasing and Timing: It ensures the billhook advances, rotates to form the knot, and retracts in perfect synchronization with the other knotter components, such as the twine discs and knife. This precise phasing is essential for a successful knot-tying cycle.

• Knot Formation Actuation: By directly controlling the billhook’s position, the cam is fundamentally responsible for initiating and guiding the physical process of looping the twine and forming the knot itself.
