- Definition(s)
- A tubular metal shaft that rotates in an engine and features cam lobes that control the intake and exhaust valves. The camshaft is located within the engine block in overhead valve engines, and is located just above the cylinder head in overhead cam engines. Most engines have one camshaft, but a V-shaped (e.g., V6 or V8) single overhead cam engine will have two. An inline (e.g., a non-V-shaped 6-cylinder) dual overhead cam engine also will have two camshafts, while a V-shaped dohc engine will have four cams. The Auto glossary.com
- Example sentence(s)
- Be aware that when using cams with greater than .430 inches of lift on some solid lifter heads, it may become necessary to clearance grind each side of the lifter bores to prevent camshaft interference with the cylinder head casting. - Autotech
 - Overhead camshaft (OHC) valvetrain configurations place the camshaft within the cylinder heads, above the combustion chambers, and drive the valves or lifters directly instead of using pushrods. - Answers.com
- Over the last several years we have witnessed a decline in "stock" camshaft replacement, most everyone has moved toward custom camshafts grinds. - Delta Camshaft

- Additional fields of expertise
- Definition(s)
- Belső égésű motorok, dugattyús gőzgépek szelepeit mozgató tengely, melyet a gép forgattyús tengelyéről hajtanak meg. A szelepet vagy a szelepeket a vezérműtengelyen kiképzett bütykök mozgatják. A vezérműtengelynek a géphez viszonyított helyzete a gép fajtájától, felépítésétől függ. Own research - by Attila Piróth
- Example sentence(s)
- A szívóoldalai vezérműtengely helyzetének megváltoztatásával befolyásolhatjuk a szívószelepek nyitási idejét. - autoslexikon.hu by Attila Piróth
- A szelepelrendezés alapvető jellegzetességét a szelepnek viszonylagos helyzete és a vezérlés módja adja. Kezdetben oldalszelepeket alkalmaztak alul elhelyezett bütykös tengelyes vezérléssel: ez az SV (side valve) motorok. A korszerű motorok ehhez képest felül szelepeltek. A vezérlés itt is történhet alul (OHV: overhead valve), vagy felül elhelyezett (OHC: overhead camshaft) bütykös tengellyel (más néven vezérműtengely) - Rukko by Attila Piróth
