Need help identifing the name of a cam.

(OP)
I need help with the name for this part. I have a design that will call for a cam like this and I am pretty sure they are mass produced but I cannot find the name for this type of cam. The action is simple. One side sits on a spring and the other is attached to a rotating part. Once the part rotates ninety degrees the cam slips forcing the part another ninety.

They're called cylindrical end cams. I don't know a manufacturer off the top of my head.
