The Impact of Design and Operational Characteristics on Camshafts Reliability

The article examines the operating principles of the gas distribution mechanisms (GCM) ofthe internal combustion engines (ICE) and the impact of the operational characteristics of the ICEon the reliability of the main parts. The aim of study is a gas camshaft. A comparativetopographic analysis of the main factors affecting the operational reliability of gas camshaft tisconducted, and their deficiencies were occuring in production and operation are revealed. Themain goal is to investigate the working principle, construction, operational characteristics of thegas distribution mechanism of ICE and the effect on the wear of their parts. In order to increasethe reliability and resource of the gas distribution mechanisms, which is the main part of the gasdistribution system, the scientific research papers and the literature were investigated to improveits dynamics and structural parameters.
