- Camshaft - Wikipedia
A camshaft is a shaft that contains a row of pointed cams in order to convert rotational motion to reciprocating motion Camshafts are used in piston engines (to operate the intake and exhaust valves), [1][2] mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed controllers

A camshaft is a rod that rotates and slides in an engine to convert rotational motion into linear motion This speed is achieved by moving the camshaft further and closer to the axis of rotation as the camshaft is driven by the engine
- Camshaft: Functions, Types, Parts, Diagram, Working
The camshaft is a cylindrical shaft with cams that controls the opening of intake and exhaust valves of the engine The intake cams on the camshaft control the intake valves while the exhaust cams control the exhaust valves
- Camshaft vs. Crankshaft: What They Are and What They Do
What Is a Camshaft? The camshaft regulates the timing of the engine’s valves, controlling when the intake and exhaust valves open and close As the camshaft rotates, it pushes against rocker arms or lifters, opening the valves at precisely the right moments during the engine’s four-stroke cycle

A camshaft is comprised of five segments: lifter lobes, bearing journals, timing gear mount, distributor gear, and the fuel pump lobe All cams have lifter lobes, bearing journals, and timing gear mounts; the other two vary by engine design
