Complete guide: Inkmachines nr. 85 - Cam Kit - 4pcs

Cam Kit-ul nr. 85 from Ink Machines is a set of four replacement cams for the Stingray and Stingray X2 rotary machines. The cam is the part that converts the motor's rotation into the linear, up-and-down movement of the needle, and its geometry (eccentricity) determines the stroke length — that is, how the machine works and the type of work it is suited for. With four cams at hand, you can reconfigure the same machine for lining, shading, or packing without buying multiple machines. The set is aimed at tattoo artists who work on a Stingray machine and want flexibility in choosing the stroke.

How to use

  1. Choose the cam according to the technique: for lines and details, start with the shorter strokes — No. 83 (red, 2,6 mm) and No. 82 (green, 3 mm); for shading and packing, use the 3,5 mm strokes — No. 80 (black, standard) and No. 81 (blue, smooth).
  2. Turn off the machine and disconnect it from the power source before any intervention.
  3. Prepare the Precision Ink Machines tool set — the manufacturer strongly recommends it for changing the cam, to avoid damaging the part or the shaft.
  4. Disassemble the installed cam according to your Stingray model's manual and carefully remove it from the motor shaft.
  5. Install the new cam, ensuring it fits correctly and completely onto the shaft.
  6. Reassemble the machine and perform a short test without a client: listen to see if it runs smoothly, without unusual noise or vibrations.
  7. Adjust the voltage from the power supply for the new stroke and check the result on practice skin before working on a client. For the exact steps, also follow the manufacturer's instructional video.

Tips from us

  • Remember the color code of the cams to identify them quickly: black = No. 80 (3,5 mm standard), blue = No. 81 (3,5 mm smooth), green = No. 82 (3 mm medium), red = No. 83 (2,6 mm short smooth).
  • A shorter stroke (2,6-3 mm) gives you more control for linework and details, while strokes of 3,5 mm are more suitable for shading and packing.
  • The two 3,5 mm cams differ in the character of the stroke — No. 80 "standard" and No. 81 "smooth"; try both to see which feel suits you.
  • After each cam change, recalibrate the voltage: the same power supply setting behaves differently with a different stroke.
  • Keep the cams you are not using in a clean, dry place, protected from dust, so they are ready for reconfiguration.
  • Always test a new configuration on practice skin before working on a client.
Warning: Always work with the machine turned off and disconnected when changing the cam. Do not force the part — if it does not fit easily, check the positioning to avoid damaging the cam or the motor shaft; this is precisely why the manufacturer recommends the Precision tool set. Set nr. 85 is intended for Stingray and Stingray X2 machines — do not force it onto other models. During work, protect the machine with barrier film and maintain station hygiene according to standard tattooing practices.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cam Kit nr. 85 set contain?

The set includes 4 original Ink Machines cams: No. 80 (black, 3,5 mm stroke standard), No. 81 (blue, 3,5 mm stroke smooth), No. 82 (green, 3 mm stroke medium), and No. 83 (red, 2,6 mm stroke short smooth).

Which machines is the set compatible with?

According to the manufacturer, the nr. 85 set is intended for Stingray and Stingray X2 machines. Check your model before ordering to ensure compatibility.

What stroke should I choose for lines versus shading?

As a general rule: a shorter stroke — No. 83 (2,6 mm) or No. 82 (3 mm) — offers more control for linework and details, while a longer stroke of 3,5 mm (No. 80 or No. 81) is more suitable for shading and packing. Best is to test both variants on practice skin.

What is the difference between No. 80 and No. 81, if both are 3,5 mm?

Both have the same 3,5 mm stroke, but differ in the character of the movement: No. 80 is "standard", and No. 81 is "smooth". The difference is felt in the machine's feel, so the choice depends on your working preference.

Do I need tools to change the cam?

The manufacturer strongly recommends the Precision Ink Machines tool set for changing the cam and also provides an instructional video. Using the right tools reduces the risk of damaging the parts.

How do I maintain the cams and how long do they last?

The cam is an internal mechanical part, so it does not wear out like needles. Keep it clean and dry and check it periodically for signs of wear — increased noise, unusual vibrations, or abnormal play — and replace it when performance drops. During sessions, always protect the machine with barrier film.

Product description

Inkmachines nr. 85 - Cam Kit - 4pcs We strongly recommend the Precision tool kit for cam change. Instruction video here: 4 selected cams: One No. 80 - Cam 3.5mm stroke Standard (Black)One No. 81 - Cam 3.5mm stroke Smooth (Blue)One No. 82 - Cam 3mm stroke Medium (Green)One No. 83 - Cam 2.6mm stroke Short smooth (Red)Only for Stingray and Stingray X2. The InkMachines Cam Kit nr. 85 is a complete set of 4 original cams designed for InkMachines rotary machines, precision components that determine needle stroke length and, consequently, the machine's working style. Cams are the central mechanical elements of any rotary machine — they convert the motor's rotational movement into the needle bar's alternating linear motion, with each cam's eccentricity defining the distance the needle travels per cycle. The 4-cam set gives tattoo artists the flexibility to configure the machine for various applications: small eccentric cams (1.5-2.0mm) for fine lines and detailed work, medium eccentric cams (2.5-3.0mm) for versatile shading and coloring, and large eccentric cams (3.5-4.0mm) for solid packing and large surface coverage. Manufactured from CNC-machined stainless steel or aerospace aluminum alloy, InkMachines cams feature dimensional tolerances below 0.01mm, ensuring smooth operation without parasitic vibrations and minimal wear across thousands of hours of use. The needle bar contact surface is polished to a mirror finish to reduce friction and prevent premature wear of both components. Cam changes are performed quickly without special tools on most InkMachines models, allowing machine reconfiguration between sessions or even during the same session. Compatible with InkMachines Dragonfly, Stingray, and other machines in the manufacturer's range that use the interchangeable cam system. Original InkMachines parts guarantee perfect dimensional compatibility and consistent performance. Frequently Asked Questions
