3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions are applicable to this document.
3.1 Integral Camshaft
A camshaft made entirely of the same material, with the cam and shaft formed as a single unit.
NOTE. Integral camshafts include alloy cast iron camshafts, ductile iron camshafts, steel camshafts, etc.
3.2 Assembled Camshaft
A camshaft in which various sub-components, such as cams, etc., are mechanically interference-fitted onto an assembled camshaft steel tube.
NOTE. The sub-components of assembled camshafts generally include steel tubes, end pieces, valve cams, fuel pump cams, brake cams, vacuum pump drive components, target wheels, cup-shaped plugs, steel balls, etc.
3.3 Assembled Camshaft Steel Tube
The carrier used to connect other sub-components of the assembled camshaft.
3.4 Assembled Camshaft End Piece
The sub-component used to connect timing gears, sprockets, etc.
3.5 Assembled Camshaft Cam Lobe
The sub-component used to drive valves, etc.
3.6 Vacuum Pump Drive Components
The sub-component used to drive the vacuum pump.
3.7 Target Wheel
The sub-component used to provide the camshaft position signal.
3.8 Eccentric Wheel
