Depends on the type of engine. Some use chains and others use belts. Chains can be noisy and belts can brake. The Suzuki Ignis uses a special Suzuki 'silent chain'.

How are camshaft driven?

By a chain or belt from the crankshaft.


What turns the camshaft?

The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft, via chain, usually, or, gears.


Compared to the crankshaft what speed does the camshaft turn?

The camshaft typically turns at half the speed of the crankshaft in a four-stroke engine. This is because the camshaft is driven by the crankshaft and needs to rotate once for every two rotations of the crankshaft to synchronize the opening and closing of the engine's valves. This ratio ensures that the intake and exhaust valves operate at the correct times during the engine's cycle.


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.


Is a camshaft the same thing as a crankshaft?

The crankshaft is turned by the pistons going up and down. The cam shaft is driven by the timing belt or chain that is turned by the crank shaft. The camshaft on a four cycle engine turns 2 to 1 crankshaft revolution. The cams on the camshaft operate the intake and exhaust valves. intake valve on one revolution and exhaust on the next.


What is timing gear?

It is the gear that drives the camshaft. It is affixed to the end of the camshaft. It is driven by a belt or chain that goes around another gear at the crankshaft and has one or more tensioners to keep it tight.


If crankshaft in twin cylinder four stroke engine is turning at 1000 rpm how fast is camshaft turning?

In a twin-cylinder four-stroke engine, the crankshaft completes one full rotation for every two strokes of the pistons. Since the crankshaft is turning at 1000 RPM, the camshaft, which is typically driven by the crankshaft at half that speed, will turn at 500 RPM. Thus, the camshaft in this engine will be rotating at 500 RPM.


Explain what a Cam and follower is?

A camshaft is driven by a linkage from the crankshaft, and operates your valves; directly in an OHC setup, and via pushrods otherwise. Cam "follower" is just an updated "roller bearing" for a camshaft.


Does the Ford Mondeo 1.8tdci have a chain or belt?

It has a belt and a chain. Belt driven from fuel pump to camshaft, and chain from crankshaft to fuel pump


What are the mechanical differences of Chrysler 2002 2.7 and 2005 2.7 engine?

The tone wheels on the camshaft and crankshaft are different.The tone wheels on the camshaft and crankshaft are different.


Why does your 2001 Cadillac Seville shut off and turn back on?

check for the camshaft/crankshaft sensors... where is your camshaft/crankshaft sensors


What are three ways camshafts is driven?

Camshafts can be driven by a timing belt, timing chain, or gear mechanism. These mechanisms transfer power from the engine's crankshaft to the camshaft to control the opening and closing of the engine's valves.
