A camshaft chikamu cheinjini yepiston. Basa rayo nderekudzora kuvhura kwevhavha nekuvhara chiito. Kunyange zvazvo camshaft ichitenderera nehafu yekumhanya kwe crankshaft muinjini ine mastroke mana (camshaft inotenderera nekumhanya kwakafanana neye crankshaft muinjini yemastroke maviri), camshaft inowanzo tenderera nekumhanya kukuru uye inoda torque yakawanda. . Naizvozvo, iyo camshaft dhizaini inoda simba rakakura uye zvinodiwa zvekutsigira. Inowanzogadzirwa nepamusoro-soro alloy kana alloy simbi. Iyo camshaft dhizaini inoita basa rakakosha mukugadzira injini nekuti mutemo wekufamba kwevharuvhu une hukama nesimba uye maitiro ekushanda kweinjini.
Iyo camshaft inoiswa pasi pe periodic kukanganisa mitoro. Kushushikana kwekubatana pakati peCAM ne turtet yakakura kwazvo, uye kukurumidza kutsvedza kwehama kwakakwirawo, saka kupfeka kweCAM yekushanda kwepamusoro kwakakomba. Tichifunga nezvemamiriro ezvinhu aya, magazini yecamshaft neCAM yekushanda inofanirwa kuve nehupamhi hwepamusoro, kushata kwepamusoro uye kuoma kwakakwana, asi zvakare inofanirwa kuve nekupfeka kwakanyanya kuramba uye nekuzora kwakanaka.
Camshafts anowanzo kuumbwa kubva pamhando yepamusoro kabhoni kana alloy simbi, asi anogona zvakare kukandwa mune alloy kana nodular cast iron. Nzvimbo yekushanda yejenari uye CAM inokwenenzverwa mushure mekurapwa kwekupisa
