Short summary
Valve mechanisms are needed to control the intake and exhaust processes of today's engines. The valves in this valve mechanism are actuated by machine parts called camshafts. The cams on the camshaft have specially designed profiles for the movement of the valves. Different cam profiles must be created for each engine size and characteristic. In this study, the camshaft design parameters were dimensioned and thus a new design approach that can be used in all cam designs was presented.
