The camshaft is a component of a piston engine. Its function is to control the opening and closing of valves. Although the speed of the camshaft in the four stroke engine is half of that of the crankshaft (the speed of the camshaft in the two-stroke engine is the same as that of the crankshaft), its speed is usually still very high and needs to bear a lot of torque. Therefore, in the design, the requirements for the strength and support surface of the camshaft are very high, and its material is generally high-quality alloy steel or alloy steel. Because the law of valve movement is related to the power and operating characteristics of an engine, camshaft design plays a very important role in the process of engine design.
