J-slot

A type of mechanism commonly used in the setting and unsetting of downhole tools and equipment such as packers. Most conventional downhole tools operate by upward or downward movement, rotation, or a combination of both. The J-slot profile creates the track for an actuating cam or pin that combines rotation and up or down movement to provide a simple yet reliable means of tool activation.
