The ratio is computed by counting the gear teeth on the camshaft and the teeth on the crankshaft. Therefore a cam with 24 teeth against a crankshaft with 48 teeth, there is a 2:1 ratio.

An automotive engines canshaft rotates at?
The engine's camshaft rotates at half the speed of the crankshaft. The crankshaft turns two full turns for every one full turn of the camshaft.
An automotive engines camshaft rotates at?
An automotive engine's camshaft rotates at A. the same speed as the crankshaft. B. one-quarter the speed of the crankshaft. C. one-half the speed of the crankshaft. D. twice the speed of the crankshaft.
An automotive engine's camshaft rotates?
one half the speed of the crankshaft.
Does the camshaft rotates at what speed?
One half the speed of the crankshaft.
An automotive engine's camshaft rotates at what speed?

What is the difference between a camshaft and a crankshaft?
The connecting rods and pistons are connected to the crankshaft. Ignition of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber pushes the pistons down which rotates the crankshaft which generates the engines torque/power. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves which allows the air/fuel mixture to flow in and out of the engine. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft and is kept in proper sequence by a timing belt/chain or gears.
How many times the camshaft rotates?
The cam shaft rotates 2 times for every rotation of the crankshaft. The pulleys are a 2-1 ratio. This means every revolution of your engine...RPM...your camshaft is rotating twice.
What is automotive crankshaft?
A shaft that connects the pistons through rods and rotates for Compression Exhaust and Intake of the enginge
Rotates the crankshaft as the piston moves down the cyliner?
i am doing a coures in tafe inspect and service engines and i would like to know this rotates the crankshaft as the piston moves down the cylinder
What is the rotation of a Dodge 360 engine when you are facing it?
As with most engines, the Dodge 360 cid engine's crankshaft rotates clockwise when viewed from the front of the engine. The distributor also rotates clockwise.
How Does Valve Work?
u mean valve of a engine.....? here's the answer... when the crankshaft rotates,then with the help of timing gear the camshaft rotates.timing gears are the gears on crankshaft(pinion) and camshaft(gear). when the cams on the crankshaft rotates it lifts up the follower(during eccentric portion of the cam). follower is connected to a push rod which moves the rocker about a point. rocker presses the valve stem in avalve guide againt the spring pressure. the valve comes down from the valve seat. and our fuel air mixture rushes inside the cylnder. when the non eccentric portion of the cam on the camshaft comes valve stem moves up due to spring pressure. the timing gears are such that they maintain a speed ratio of two between them. it means camshaft has to rotate at half the speed of crankshaft. it is because a valve has to open and close once in every two revolutions of the crankshaft.
What is twisting in cars?
crankshaft The crankshaft rotates. A torsion bar twists.
