Patent attributes
One preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a cam having an axle location for mounting the cam to an archery bow, where the center of mass of the cam is substantially coaxial with the axle location. Preferable the cam has an eccentric geometric rotation profile with regard to a rotation axis, typically an irregular geometry with a non-centered axle location, or a circular profile with an axle location offset from the center of the circular profile. The mass of the cam is balanced to have an effectively equal mass distribution around the axle location. In an alternate preferred embodiment, the cam has a balanced center of mass aligned with the axle location in an X-Y orientation, and may also have a balanced center of mass through the thickness of the cam in an X-Z or Y-Z orientation.
