Abstract
A linear friction welding system in one embodiment includes a ram configured to vibrate along a welding axis, a cam follower operably connected to the ram, an eccentric including an eccentric outer periphery operably engaged with the cam follower, and an inner periphery, a first power shaft slidingly engaged with the eccentric, a second power shaft eccentrically engaged with the inner periphery, a timing component operably connected to the first power shaft and the second power shaft, a motor configured to drive the timing component, and a phase change mechanism engaged with the timing component and movable between a first position defining a first phase relationship between the first power shaft and the second power shaft, and a second position defining a second phase relationship between the first power shaft and the second power shaft.
