            • camshaft
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • 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

          • Definition(s)
            • Un árbol de levas es un mecanismo formado por un eje en el que se colocan distintas levas, que pueden tener distintas formas y tamaños y estar orientadas de diferente manera, siendo un programador mecánico. Los usos de los árboles de levas son muy variados, como en molinos, telares, sistemas de distribución de agua o martillos hidráulicos, aunque su aplicación más desarrollada es la relacionada con los motores de combustión interna, en los que se encarga de regular la apertura y el cierre de las válvulas, permitiendo la admisión y el escape de gases en los cilindros. wikipedia - by José Carlos Gil

            • разпределителен вал
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Разпределителният вал е основно приспособление в газоразпределителния механизъм на двигателите с вътрешно горене. Разпределителният вал управлява движението на клапаните. При работа на двигателя той е подложен на огъване и усукване, а върху гърбиците му действат значителни контактни напрежения, предизвикващи интензивното му износване. Основните елементи на разпределителният вал са: тяло, гърбици, опорни (лагерни) шийки и фланец. Валът се задвижва с помощта на зъбно колело, което се закрепва към фланеца с болтове. Точното ъглово положение на колелото спрямо гърбиците, необходимо за правилното центроване на ГРМ се осъществява от щифт, поставен в съвместно пробитите в колелото и фланеца отвори.

          • Example sentence(s)
            • разпределителния вал се върти от коляновия вал с верига или набразден ремък като съотношението винаги е 2:1- на всеки 2 оборота на коляновия вал, разпределителния се завърта веднъж. - offroad bulgaria by George Boyadjiev
