In internal combustion engines, the crankshaft and camshaft are critical components, both playing an essential role in the engine's operation, especially in off-road equipment. Compared with the crankshaft, it is located at the bottom of the engine, the camshaft is positioned at the top. Its primary function is to control the timing of the opening and closing of the engine's valves. The camshaft's movement directly affects the engine's combustion efficiency and overall performance. Therefore, if any issues arise with the intake or exhaust in the cylinders, the camshaft should be inspected.
Apart from their positions, there are other key differences between the crankshaft and camshaft:
The crankshaft converts the piston's reciprocating motion into rotational motion, driving the flywheel and transmission. The camshaft controls the timing of the valves' opening and closing, managing the intake and exhaust processes.
Despite both being made of high-strength materials, their designs and manufacturing requirements differ to meet their specific functional needs.
