How to prevent faults of the camshafts
The most common defects are broken and seized camshafts. The shaft breakage is caused by incorrect assembly into a misalignment position, which limits the free rotation of the cam. Seizing of camshafts is caused by impurities in the shaft bearing housing, respectively...
What kind of camshaft – made of steel or cast iron?
Camshafts are made of steel and cast iron. The starting material of the steel cams is the rod material, then precisely machined and inductively hardened on the surface, respectively case-hardened. Cast iron shafts are produced by casting an iron alloy. The steel...
