Where Is The Camshaft Located?

There are three types of camshaft positions: bottom mounted, center mounted, and top mounted.

The camshaft is a component of a piston engine. Its function: 1. It controls the opening and closing of the valves, although the camshaft speed in a four stroke engine is half that of the crankshaft (in a two-stroke engine, the camshaft and crankshaft are the same); But generally, its speed is still very high and it needs to withstand a lot of torque. Therefore, the design of the camshaft has high requirements for strength and support. Its material is generally special cast iron, with occasional use of forgings; 3. Due to the relationship between valve motion law and engine power and operating characteristics, camshaft design plays a very important role in the engine design process.
