Claim 2:
3. The rolling element cam according to claim 2, wherein:
the drive cam connection groove in each of the plurality of drive cam grooves is formed to satisfy an equation of R1=Dpit1/2·π/180·ø1/cos γ1, where:
Dpit1 denotes a diameter of a pitch circle, which is a circle that is centered at a center of the drive cam and extends along the groove bottom at the drive cam planar groove in the drive cam groove;
ø1 [deg.] denotes a circumferential angular extent of the drive cam connection groove of the drive cam groove measured in the circumferential direction of the drive cam; and
γ1 denotes the slope angle of the groove bottom at the drive cam slope groove of the drive cam groove relative to the one end surface of the drive cam; and

the driven cam connection groove in each of the plurality of driven cam grooves is formed to satisfy an equation of R2=Dpit2/2·π/180·ø2/cos γ2, where:
Dpit2 denotes a diameter of a pitch circle, which is a circle that is centered at a center of the driven cam and extends along the groove bottom at the driven cam planar groove in the driven cam groove;
ø2 [deg.] denotes a circumferential angular extent of the driven cam connection groove of the driven cam groove measured in the circumferential direction of the driven cam; and
γ2 denotes the slope angle of the groove bottom at the driven cam slope groove of the driven cam groove relative to the one end surface of the driven cam.
