What Is The Transmission Mode Of Crankshaft And Camshaft?
Mar 18, 2023| What is the transmission mode of crankshaft and camshaft: camshaft
The camshaft is a component in a piston engine. Its function is to control the opening and closing actions of the valve. Although the rotational speed of the camshaft in a four-stroke engine is half that of the crankshaft (in a two-stroke engine, the rotational speed of the camshaft is the same as that of the crankshaft), usually its rotational speed is still very high, and it needs to withstand a large amount of torque. Therefore, in design, the requirements for strength and support of the camshaft are very high, and its material is generally high-quality alloy steel or alloy steel. Because the law of valve motion is related to the power and operating characteristics of an engine, camshaft design plays a very important role in the design process of the engine.
What is the transmission mode of crankshaft and camshaft: crankshaft
The crankshaft is the most important component in an engine. It bears the force transmitted from the connecting rod and converts it into torque, which is output through the crankshaft and drives other accessories on the engine to work. The crankshaft is subjected to the combined action of the centrifugal force of the rotating mass, the periodically varying gas inertia force, and the reciprocating inertia force, making the crankshaft withstand the bending and torsional load. Therefore, the crankshaft is required to have sufficient strength and stiffness, and the surface of the journal should be wear-resistant, work evenly, and have good balance.
