Figure 7 is a perspective view of an example gap gauge 100. FIGURE 7 illustrates a gap gauge 100 that includes a separator 122 that includes a cam 702 and a follower 704. As used herein, a "cam" refers to a mechanical device structured, organized, configured, programmed, designed, arranged, or engineered to translate motion of one form into motion of another form. For example, a cam can translate rotary motion into linear motion. Similarly, a cam can translate linear motion into rotary motion. A cam can be a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used in transforming rotary motion into linear motion. A cam can be a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular shape) that strikes or moves a lever at one or more points on the rotating wheel's circular path. The cam can be a simple tooth or an eccentric disc or other shape that produces a smooth reciprocating (back and forth) motion in the follower, which is a lever configured to make contact with the cam. (Search "cam" on Wikipedia.com Dec. 26, 2020. Modified. Accessed Jan. 6, 2020.) Various types of cams can be used with the present disclosure. For example, the cam can be a radial cam, a disc cam, a cylindrical cam, or the like.
