A mechanical cam in an engine converts rotational motion into linear motion to control the opening and closing of engine valves. As the cam rotates, its specially shaped profile pushes against a follower, which moves vertically to open the valve at precise timing during the engine's cycle. This ensures that the intake and exhaust valves operate efficiently, allowing for optimal airflow and combustion. The design of the cam determines the timing, duration, and lift of the valve movement, critical for engine performance.
What else can I help you with?
What is the heat engine?
a machine that transforms heat into machanical energy, or work
Why 100 percent heat not convert in mechanical work in engine?
No engine is 100% efficient: there is always some loss of energy between input and output.
When a heat engine converts thermal energy into mechanical energy what energy moves a vehicle?
When a heat engine converts thermal energy into mechanical energy, it typically produces mechanical work that drives the vehicle's wheels. This mechanical energy, generated through processes like combustion in an internal combustion engine, is transmitted to the drivetrain, allowing the vehicle to move. Essentially, the thermal energy is transformed into kinetic energy, which propels the vehicle forward.
What are some examples of a cam and follower gear?
car engine
What materials is a cam made of?
cam in an ic engine is made up of HIESPEED STEEL OR THAT CONTAIN HIGH %OF CARBON THAT CONTAIN .2% CARBON
How many cam lobes in a six cylinder engine?
12 without mechanical fuel pump lobe, 13 with it
Does a 1975 350 engine have mechanical flat tappet lifters?
typically no it should be hydraulic lifters unless someone has changed the cam and lifters in the engine.
WHAT THE ENGINE?
A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption. A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption.
Bought a gm tbi motor it has a blank plate where the fuel pump is does the cam have a lobe for a mechanical fuel pump?
Yes it does. But you can not run a mechanical pump on a fuel injected engine. It will not pump enough fuel to run the engine.
Tell me about engine?
An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.
Can mechanical engineer go in aerospace engineering?
Mechanical engineers can work in airlines. They work in the repair of the engine and the fuselage.
What is a cam?
A cam is a mechanical component that converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion. It typically has a non-circular shape to control the movement of other parts within a machine. Cam mechanisms are commonly used in engines, pumps, and other mechanical systems.
What is an aircraft engine?
A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption. A mechanical device that can work by means of fuel consumption.
What is the heat engine?
a machine that transforms heat into machanical energy, or work
Will a single cam dodge neon engine work in place of a double over head cam dodge neon engine?
With the correct computer, wiring harness, mounts, attachments, etc.
What is the use of steam engine?
To convert heat energy into mechanical work.
With 302 cam in to 351w engine works or no work?
this one i know thru experience,and a long time to figure it out. but yes a 302 cam will work in a 351.but, u will need to time the engine to 302 timing specs, not to 351 timing specs the same applies if you put 351 cam in a 302
