1. Camshaft

   A camshaft is a rotating object— usually made of metal— that contains pointed cams, which converts rotational motion to reciprocal motion. Camshafts are used in internal combustion engines (to operate the intake and exhaust valves), mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed controllers. Camshafts in automobiles are made from steel or cast iron, and are a key factor in determining the RPM range of an engine's power band.

1. camshaft

   A camshaft is a mechanical device or component in an internal combustion engine that operates the intake and exhaust valves. It is a rotating cylindrical rod with eccentric lobes (known as 'cams') protruding from it. These cams convert rotational motion into reciprocating motion, opening and closing the valves to allow air and gas to flow in and out of the engine's cylinders, which facilitates combustion.
