A 'cam' is a lobe shape on a rotating shaft in machinery. A 'follower' is a part that contacts the cam and goes back and forth relative to the rotation of the lobe. This is a common way of converting rotation to reciprocal action.
Tumblr does say more followers than you cam count on your followers list because it takes time to update.
On some engines the cam-shaft does not directly operate the valves, but uses a lever (the Cam Follower) to transmit the force from the cam to the valve. Basically they are levers, and they are used to open the valves.
Cam followers can be purchased from Global Industrial, Bearings Canada, and Emerson Industrial Automation. A cam follower is a special bearing that is used to follow cams.
no valve adjustment. hydraulic lifters (cam followers).
a sharp pointed cam, thats used in racing cars
were the hydraulic cam followers changed with the valves if not, that is the problem.
Most CAM plants are found in Hot and Dry climates according to my Bio book
A big cam 350 probably refers to a cummins diesel engine. Cummins diesel engines had a reputation for cam failure in the past, and the company came out with a fix they called the big cam series of engines, which means the cam bearings, lobes, followers etc were made bigger to last longer C
sound like you cam followers (if overhead cam) or lifters are making noise. Could be low oil pressure to the head.
A camshaft opens/closes the intake/exhaust valves at predetermined points of the piston travel. The cam is driven by the crankshaft, the rotating cam lobes operates thru lifters/followers that ride against the lobes.
Cams and followers are mechanical devices used to convert rotary motion into linear motion. The cam, typically a rotating disc or wheel with an irregular shape, pushes against the follower, which moves in a linear path. This mechanism is commonly found in engines, automated machinery, and various manufacturing processes, where precise timing and movement are essential. Cams allow for controlled movement profiles, enabling varied speeds and motions based on the cam's design.
Followers of Buddhism are found throughout the world, traditionally the majority of Buddhists have been in Asia but there are a growing number in Europe, Africa and the United States of America.
