PPT CHAPTER 28 CAMSHAFTS AND VALVE TRAINS PowerPoint Presentation, free download ID6239048
The camshaft is one of the most important parts of the internal combustion engine that regulates the opening and closing of the inlet and exhaust valves. This article explains the camshaft function, working, parts, and applications. What is a Camshaft?

Reading a Cam Card: Rocker Arm Ratio (Rocker Ratio) On that same line in this cam card, the lift at the valve has increased from .321-inch at the lobe, to .545-inch at the valve. This is accomplished through the rocker ratio. Note that the card calls this ratio out at 1.7:1. If we multiply 0.321 x 1.7 = .545-inch.

Mar 22, 2007 For some of us, camshafts are a lot like marriage-we understand the concept but cannot fathom exactly how to make it work. For example, why is duration always measured in crankshaft.

The camshaft drives the distributor to electrically synchronize spark ignition. Cam Diagram. Camshafts do their work through eccentric "lobes" that actuate the components of the valve train. The camshaft itself is forged from one piece of steel, on which the lobes are ground. On single-camshaft engines (by far the most common pre-1980 engine.

These can be had in either flat or roller form, and each of these comes in a hydraulic or solid design. A flat lifter is, in reality, not flat on its working face, and would quickly fail if it was.

This cam diagram reveals the cams' relationship to the four-stroke cycle. The big red curves represent each cam's profile. Lift To understand cams, you've got to grasp at least these two.

[Twin cam layout and single cam] For OHC engines, there may be a single camshaft in an engine, or there may be one for the intake valves and one for the exhaust valves - this is the most common layout for modern engines, known as a twin-cam engine or a double overhead-cam (DOHC).

1. What are the differences between flat tappet camshafts and roller camshafts? Simply put, a flat tappet camshaft is used with flat-faced lifters (well, mostly flat), while roller cams are used.

Pete Mitchell Camshaft Types There are two major types of camshafts: Flat Tappet and Roller Cams. Flat Tappet (lifters) are in most V8's and literally have what looks like a flat bottom where the cam lobe contacts the tappet (lifter). Lifters are not actually flat on the contact surface. They do have a slight curve, but it's hard to see.
Engine Camshaft Explained saVRee saVRee
Location in engine Many early internal combustion engines used a cam-in-block layout (such flathead, IOE or T-head layouts), whereby the camshaft is located within the engine block near the bottom of the engine. Early flathead engines locate the valves in the block and the cam acts directly on those valves.

What Does a Camshaft Do? How It Affects the Engine
A camshaft is a rod which rotates and slides against a piece of machinery in order to turn rotational motion into linear motion. This change of motion is accomplished by the camshaft moving further and closer from the axis of rotation as the camshaft is pushed by the machinery. These moving pieces of the shaft are the cams.The linear distance moved is called the 'throw' and can be seen in.
Camshaft 101 The History And Substance Of Camshafts EngineLabs
We'll assume you're familiar with the basic function of a combustion engine - fuel and air are ignited inside a cylinder, producing explosive energy that's converted into motion via the pistons, crankshaft and transmission.
Repair Guides Engine Mechanical Camshaft
A camshaft consists of a cylindrical rod running the length of the cylinder bank. This camshaft working is achieved with a number of cams along its length. One lobe for each valve. These lobes force the valve to open by pressing on them. Some intermediate mechanism is used for the valve closing.

Camshaft duration is the amount of crankshaft rotation that occurs as the cam lobe moves the lifter off of the base circle; it is measured in crankshaft degrees to make it easier to degree (check) the cam to make sure it is positioned properly in the engine.

Woodruff key 1. Cam Bearing Journals The cam is a rotating component that provides reciprocating or oscillating motion to the follower by direct contact. This is typically used to change the movement from the rotary to linear. 2. Bearing Shell The bearing shell is part that is mounted on the cam bearing journals.

A camshaft is a mechanical device used in an IC engine to perform the opening and closing action of the inlet and exhaust valve at the right time. The basic function is to convert rotatory motion into linear motion.
