- 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

- 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
