The cams are balls embedded in a swash plate that wobbles on a bearing ball and are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle. When coded for opening, the three cam followers simultaneously contact the three cams to prevent wobbling and allow the followers to operate as drivers for the swash plate and a lock closing body.
