When it comes to cams and Two-Valve power improved motors, things can be tricky outside of bolting on some sort of power adder. Trying to get more power from a naturally aspirated 4.6L Two-Valve can ...

A. Here you can see the relationships of base circle, lobe lift and valve duration. During times when a valve is in its closed position, follower (or lifter) travel is along the base circle surface of ...

Cam–follower systems are integral to a myriad of engineering applications, from automotive valve trains to precision industrial machinery. The current research landscape encompasses comprehensive ...

The valve train wear characteristics of motored 2.2 l and 2.3 l engines were examined using ceramic and conventional metal cam followers. Under regular wear conditions with fully formulated motor oils ...

Cam followers convert rotary to linear motion and range from simple two-dimensional cams to complex three-dimensional indexing cams with several followers. In linear-motion applications, cam followers ...

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is Part I of a two part series. The following text is an overview of camshaft design studying the path of the lifter as it travels the lobe of the cam. Although cam profiles effect ...

Plastic cam follower rollers help avoid design compromises. Engineering design is the art of compromise. Engineers typically select components by weighing criteria such as function, reliability, ...
