How does the camshaft work?
A camshaft opens/closes the intake/exhaust valves at predetermined points of the piston travel. The cam is driven by the crankshaft, the rotating cam lobes operates thru lifters/followers that ride against the lobes.
An automotive engines camshaft rotates at?
An automotive engine's camshaft rotates at A. the same speed as the crankshaft. B. one-quarter the speed of the crankshaft. C. one-half the speed of the crankshaft. D. twice the speed of the crankshaft.
The camshaft makes how many revolutions for a full revolution of the crankshaft?
it's a 2 to 1 ratio For ALL 4 cycle engines, no matter how many cylinders, the crankshaft turns twice for every turn of the camshaft.
Why does a camshaft break?
Many reasons. Extreme valve spring pressure, sometimes if gear driven, the crankshaft will transmit vibration, thus breaking it, or maybe a connecting rod let go, and hit it. Or, it could have been a weak casting, though that is uncommon. These are the only reasons I have seen, in the field.
1997 skylark water pump location?
SHOULD BE THE BELT DRIVEN ACCESSORY DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CRANKSHAFT (LOWEST BELT DRIVEN ACCESSORY ON ENGINE)
How are camshaft driven?
By a chain or belt from the crankshaft.
What turns the camshaft?
The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft, via chain, usually, or, gears.
What is the difference between a camshaft and a crankshaft?
The connecting rods and pistons are connected to the crankshaft. Ignition of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber pushes the pistons down which rotates the crankshaft which generates the engines torque/power. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves which allows the air/fuel mixture to flow in and out of the engine. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft and is kept in proper sequence by a timing belt/chain or gears.
Is a camshaft the same thing as a crankshaft?
The crankshaft is turned by the pistons going up and down. The cam shaft is driven by the timing belt or chain that is turned by the crank shaft. The camshaft on a four cycle engine turns 2 to 1 crankshaft revolution. The cams on the camshaft operate the intake and exhaust valves. intake valve on one revolution and exhaust on the next.
What is timing gear?
It is the gear that drives the camshaft. It is affixed to the end of the camshaft. It is driven by a belt or chain that goes around another gear at the crankshaft and has one or more tensioners to keep it tight.
Explain what a Cam and follower is?
A camshaft is driven by a linkage from the crankshaft, and operates your valves; directly in an OHC setup, and via pushrods otherwise. Cam "follower" is just an updated "roller bearing" for a camshaft.
Does the Ford Mondeo 1.8tdci have a chain or belt?
It has a belt and a chain. Belt driven from fuel pump to camshaft, and chain from crankshaft to fuel pump
What are the mechanical differences of Chrysler 2002 2.7 and 2005 2.7 engine?
The tone wheels on the camshaft and crankshaft are different.The tone wheels on the camshaft and crankshaft are different.
What are three ways camshafts is driven?
Camshafts can be driven by a timing belt, timing chain, or gear mechanism. These mechanisms transfer power from the engine's crankshaft to the camshaft to control the opening and closing of the engine's valves.
Why does your 2001 Cadillac Seville shut off and turn back on?
check for the camshaft/crankshaft sensors... where is your camshaft/crankshaft sensors
How does the camshaft work?
A camshaft opens/closes the intake/exhaust valves at predetermined points of the piston travel. The cam is driven by the crankshaft, the rotating cam lobes operates thru lifters/followers that ride against the lobes.
What is the ratio of crankshaft to camshaft?
The Crankshaft spins twice for every single turn of the Camshaft. so it would be a 2:1 ratio.
