Camshaft Automotive Engine
The camshaft in an automotive engine is a rotating component that controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves. It is typically driven by the crankshaft and has lobes or cams that push against the valves to open them at the correct times in the engine's cycle. The camshaft plays a crucial role in determining the engine's performance and efficiency by regulating the intake of air and fuel and the exhaust of combustion gases.
