Camshaft
Definition of Camshaft as it relates to Automotive, Automotive Engine
A camshaft is a rotating shaft used in an automotive engine to translate linear motion into rotational motion, which operates the engine valves. The opening and closing of these valves control the flow of air and fuel mixture entering the cylinder, as well as the exhaust gases exiting it. It typically features several cam lobes, each corresponding to a separate engine valve. Through precise timing and coordination with other components, the camshaft plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal engine performance, efficiency, and emissions control.
