            • 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

            • wałek rozrządu
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Wałek rozrządu za pomocą popychaczy otwiera i zamyka zawory. Wałek ten może napędzać mechanizmy osprzętu silnika, sam będąc napędzany obrotami wału korbowego za pośrednictwiem paska lub łańcucha. Jest on obciążony siłami bezwładności mas elementów układów rozrządu i napięcia sprężyn zaworowych. Wałki rozrządu wykonuje się z kucia lub odlewu. Dawniej obróbka wałka rozrządu stanowiła jeden z kluczowych elementów w tuningu silników, dziś są one zazwyczaj tak dopracowane, że producenta da się poprawić w nieznacznym stopniu.

          • Example sentence(s)
            • Bardzo ważne jest w silniku dobranie optymalnego zarysu krzywek wałka rozrządu. - Firma Świątek by Jacek Kotowski
            • Współczesne mechanizmy rozrządu silników samochodowych wyposażone są najczęściej w układ hydraulicznej regulacji luzów zaworowych. Podstawowe urządzenie tego układu, zwane popularnie popychaczem hydraulicznym, współpracuje z wałkiem rozrządu bezpośrednio lub za pośrednictwem dźwigienki zaworowej. - Polskie Towarzystwo Inżynierów Motoryz by Jacek Kotowski

            • bregasto vratilo
          • Additional fields of expertise
          • Definition(s)
            • Bregasto vratilo ima zadatak da u pravom trenutku i pravilnim redoslijedom aktivira ventile, te da upravlja promjenom dodavanja gasa. Kontinuiranim pomicanjem bregastog vratila mogu se u jedinstvenom smjeru pomaknuti vremena upravljanja svih ventila koje pogoni dotično bregasto vratilo. Tako se kod motora sa dva gore smještena bregasta vratila može utjecati na veličinu i položaj presjecanja ventila, a kao posljedica toga se poboljšava ponašanje u području djelomičnog i punog operećenja.

            • Razvodni mehanizam treba omogućiti izmjenu radne tvari u cilindru motora na kraju svakog radnog procesa. Ta se izmjena, odnosno razvod radne tvari, kod 4T-motora danas vrši isključivo s pomoću ventila, bregastog vratila i elemenata za prijenos pomaka s brijega na ventil. - Fakultet strojarstva i brodogradnje by Sonja Bulesic Milic
