Abstract

The paper presents a method of the original type in order to determine the effectiveness of a mechanism camshaft and adept. The originality of this method consists of eliminating the friction. In this research analyzes the four types of side camshaft: 1. Camshaft rotary switch and the motherboard translated adept; 2. The mechanism with the camshaft rotary switch and openness to be translated with roll; The 3. The camshaft rotary switch and the rocking chair adept with roll; The 4. The camshaft rotary switch and the rocking chair adept. For any mechanism with the camshaft and the follower is uses a different method to determine the most efficient design. We take into account the mechanism (the timing end) cam, which is the second of the mechanism in internal combustion engines. Optimization of this mechanism (timing end), can improve the functionality of the engine and may increase the comfort of the vehicle too.
