Camshaft

A camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Its role is to control the opening and closing action of the valve. Although the speed of the camshaft in the four-stroke engine is half that of the crankshaft (in the two-stroke engine, the speed of the camshaft is the same as the crankshaft), but usually its speed is still very high, and it needs to withstand a lot of torque, so the design of the camshaft in terms of strength and support requirements are very high, and its material is generally high-quality alloy steel or alloy steel.

DESCRIPTION

A camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Its role is to control the opening and closing action of the valve. Although the speed of the camshaft in the four-stroke engine is half that of the crankshaft (in the two-stroke engine, the speed of the camshaft is the same as the crankshaft), but usually its speed is still very high, and it needs to withstand a lot of torque, so the design of the camshaft in terms of strength and support requirements are very high, and its material is generally high-quality alloy steel or alloy steel. Because the law of valve movement is related to the power and running characteristics of an engine, camshaft design occupies a very important position in the engine design process.
