Practically every poppet valve, therefore, is lifted by means of a cam, which is a thick, irregularly-shaped piece of steel mounted on a shaft known as the cam shaft.
Inasmuch as the valve should remain closed throughout two-thirds or three-quarters of every two revolutions of the flywheel, the greater part of the periphery of the cam is circular, or at the same distance from the axis at all points.
A cam shaft should never be removed, however, without first marking the intermeshing teeth of its driving gear and those of its companions.
Such a cam shaft should never be dismounted without first marking intermeshing teeth of all spur and bevel gears that are concerned in its operation.
It will be seen that the force of the spring is communicated through the valve stem to the push rod, and thence to the periphery of the cam when the latter is in a position to lift the valve.
The cam shafts may be driven by a chain, the links of which fit over teeth cut on sprocket wheels, but there must always be a constant relation between the position of the cam shaft and that of the crank shaft.
As the opening of a valve located in the head is downward, however, the motion produced by the cam on the push rod must be reversed in direction.
There is thus one revolution of each cam shaft gear for every two of the crank shaft gear, and consequently each cam shaft is driven at the required half speed.
In other words, if the cam were a true circle with its axis passing through its center, there would be no motion of the valve, for all points of the periphery of a circle are at the same distance from the center.
The second night he kept watch on the Path Know, a hill which he supposed the howling o' the dog cam frae.
Motion is given to the spur wheel by a cam on the main shaft of the machine, which acts through a slotted lever and a connecting rod.
Should the machine have an inclination to creep forward when cranking, it indicates that the clutch lever screw which bears on the clutch lever cam has worn, and requires an extra turn to hold the clutch in neutral position.
In fitting the large time gear to the cam shaft it is important to see that the first cam points in a direction opposite to the zero mark (see Cut No.
As the valves are properly timed at the factory when the engine is built the necessity for retiming would occur only when such parts as the cam shaft, time gears or valves were removed in overhauling the engine.
A groove is cut in the cylindrical wall of the cam and an arm or lever is provided with a roller which rolls in the groove.
The cam is one of the most useful elements in modern machinery, for it provides a very simple means of producing the most complicated and irregular motions.
The cam in this case is a perfectly circular disk, but the shaft that turns it does not lie at the center of the disk, consequently an object bearing against the periphery must move toward and away from the center as the disk revolves.
As already stated, a lug on the under surface just in rear of the cam (f) engages with the front of the mainspring.
