2. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timing_belt_(camshaft)

   Aside from the belt/chain itself, also common is a failure of the tensioner, and/or the various gear and idler bearings, causing the belt/chain to derail. Furthermore, in engines where the timing belt drives the water pump, failure of the water pump can cause the pump to seize, which can break the timing belt or chain.

3. Cam follower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_follower

   A cam follower, also known as a track follower, [1] is a specialized type of roller or needle bearing designed to follow cam lobe profiles. Cam followers come in a vast array of different configurations, however the most defining characteristic is how the cam follower mounts to its mating part; stud style cam followers use a stud while the yoke style has a hole through the middle.

4. Tappet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tappet

   In an overhead valve engine the tappets (on right) are sandwiched between pushrods and the camshaft. In an internal combustion engine, a tappet (also called a 'valve lifter' or 'cam follower') [3] [4] [5] is the component which converts the rotation of the camshaft into vertical motion to open and close an intake or exhaust valve.

5. Hydraulic tappet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_tappet

   The hydraulic lifter, situated between the camshaft and each valve, is a hollow steel cylinder encasing an internal piston. This piston is held at the outer limit of its travel with a strong spring. The lobed camshaft rhythmically presses against the lifter, which transmits the motion to the engine valve in one of two ways:

6. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

   Constant lead barrel cam in an American Pacemaker lathe. This cam is used to provide a repeatable cross slide setting when threading with a single-point tool. A cylindrical cam or barrel cam is a cam in which the follower rides on the surface of a cylinder. In the most common type, the follower rides in a groove cut into the surface of a cylinder.

7. Camshaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camshaft

   A camshaft operating two valves. A camshaft is a shaft that contains a row of pointed cams in order to convert rotational motion to reciprocating motion.Camshafts are used in piston engines (to operate the intake and exhaust valves), [1] [2] mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed controllers.
