Crankshaft ME081645 ME081635 HD700-5 6D31 Engine Camshaft ​

Product Description:

Camshaft

A camshaft is a shaft that contains a row of pointed cams, in order to convert rotational motion to reciprocating motion. Camshafts are used in piston engines (to operate the intake and exhaust valves),mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed controllers.

Camshafts in piston engines are usually made from steel or cast iron, and the shape of the cams greatly affects the engine's characteristics.

What is camshaft and crankshaft?

The camshaft controls the opening and closing of valves through the combustion process, and the crankshaft takes the energy from that process and connects it to the rest of the vehicle.

What is the function of a camshaft?

Camshaft | Engine |

The camshaft is a mechanical component of an internal combustion engine. It opens and closes the inlet and exhaust valves of the engine at the right time, with the exact stroke and in a precisely defined sequence. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft by way of gearwheels, a toothed belt or a timing chain.
