- A shaft fitted with cams; especially one in a piston engine that activates the valves
- A secondary shaft that causes the valves to open and close via the push rods or even directly pushes them open and closed in flathead and overhead cam (modern tractors only) engines. This shaft is connected (usually via a gear) and timed to the turning of the Crankshaft. ...
- A shaft containing many cams that covert rotary motion to reciprocating (lifting) motion. For every 2 revolutions of the crankshaft, the camshaft rotates 1 revolution. The lobes on the camshaft actuate the valve train in relation to the piston movement in an internal combustion engine. ...
- A shaft with a cam, shaped like an eccentric circle, for each of an engine's intake and exhaust valves. As the camshaft rotates, each cam comes in contact with either a pushrod or rocker arm and converts rotary motion into linear motion that ultimately opens the valve (a spring closes it). ...
- In the small block and big block Chevy engines, it is a shaft that turns at one half of the engine speed and pushes the lifters up, pushing the pushrods that push the rocker arms on top of the head, which then depress the valve stem, opening the valves to either let fuel and air in or exhaust ...
- A shaft having a series of cams at intervals along its length, for operating the engine valve mechanism. Made up of a series of egg-shaped sections, which as they rotate raise and lower part of the valve train, which in turn causes the valves to open and close.
