    (57) The device (1) for inserting knitting cams (8) during operation in circular knitting machines for stockings, knitwear and the like, comprises at least one slider (5) arranged laterally facing the needle cylinder (7) of the machine and movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axis (6) of the needle cylinder (7). The slider (5) is rigidly associated with a knitting cam (8) which is selectively engageable, upon movement of the slider (5), with needle actuation elements (9). The device (1) also comprises a linear motor (11) which acts on the slider (5) and is actuated by an electronic machine control element (12) to impart to the knitting cams (8) preset movements relatively to the needle cylinder (7).
