Advanced Design
Basically, the purpose of a camshaft in an internal combustion engine is to open and close the valves in correct sequence. In the Otto four-cycle engine, this sequence is timed in relation to the crankshaft and pistons. The ultimate objective of the cam-shaft function is to "trap" the greatest possible weight of fuel/air mixture in the cylinders to attain 100% volumetric efficiency.

Precision Engineering
Cam design has come a long way since the old days of the simple harmonic design. This design deter-mined the cam shape by using three separate radii - the nose radius, the flank radius, and the base circle radius. Today, this simple method is considered primitive because of the difficulty encountered in accurate inspection, and its poor highspeed performance qualities.
