Camshaft Gear
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Camshaft Gear, also known as the Timing Gear, is a vital part of a commercial truck's engine. It is responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the camshaft with the crankshaft, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct time. This is crucial for the engine to run smoothly and efficiently, as well as preventing damage to the engine's internal components. Made from high-quality materials, such as hardened steel or aluminum, the Camshaft Gear is designed to withstand the high stresses and temperatures of the engine. It is also engineered to be precise and durable, ensuring that it can perform its function reliably for thousands of miles. Without a properly functioning Camshaft Gear, a commercial truck's engine would experience a loss of power, decreased fuel efficiency, and potentially catastrophic engine failure.
