310-7612: Engine Camshaft

The Engine camshaft is a long, cylindrical shaft located in the engine block above the cylinders. It is driven by the engine's crankshaft through a timing belt, chain, or gears. It has a series of specially shaped lobes or cams that determine the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in the engine. It enables optimized valve timing at different engine speeds and loads, improving performance and efficiency. Attributes: Designed to withstand stresses. Withstand high temperatures and be resistant to corrosion. Designed for enhanced power and torque. Applications: The Engine camshaft is used to control the valve timing and lift, enabling efficient combustion. It is extensively used in Cat® 2306, 2506, 2506A, 2506D, 2506F, 2806, 2806-18, 2806A, 2806C, 2806D, 3406E, 3456, 3512, 3512C, 3516C, C-12, C-15, C-16, C-18, C13, C15, C18, and C9 Engine (Piston), 24H and 24M Motor Grader, 2506, 3406E, 3456, 3508, 3512C, C13, C15, C18, C9, D450, D500, D550, D600, DE550S, DE600S, DE605, DE660, DE715, PMC15, PRO500, XQE500, and XQP500 Generator Set, 320, 365, 365C, 374D, 375, 385C, 390D, 621G, 631G, 657G, 735C, 740, 770, 772, 980H, and C18 OEMApplications, 365C, 365D, 374, 374D, 374E, 374F, 385C, 385D, 390D, 5200, 6015, 6018, 6060, and 6060X Excavators, 365C, 385C, and MH3275 Material Handler, C13 Engine-General Platform (C13), C13, C18, TH55, and TR43 Powertrain, C15 and C18 Power Systems, C15 Engine-General Platform, C15 Engine-General Platform (C15), C15 Genset - C15 Rental, C15 Petroleum Genset Kit - C15 (OEM), C18 Engine-General Platform (C18), C18 Goer, C18 Petroleum Genset Kit - C18 (Oem), D8, D8R, D8T, D9T, MT855, MT865, MTC855, and MTC865 Track Type Tractor, MD6290 Drills, P550-6 Generator Set - Perkins 2506 Eu3a, PM-150, PM-200, PM-201, PM6, PM620, PM622, PM8, PM820, PM822, PM825, RM-500, RM500, RM500B, RM600, and RM800 Paving Equipment, PR43C Locomotive, PRO500 Generator Set - Fg Wilson.
