2. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

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

   The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.

3. Hugo Lentz - Wikipedia

   In total, Lentz acquired some 2000 patents. He is best known for his steam valve gear with oscillating and rotating cams to actuate poppet valves. He also developed an eponymous form of locomotive boiler, the Lentz boiler, with a corrugated tubular furnace. [4] Paxman-Lentz single-cylinder engine. Lentz died on 21 March 1944.

4. Valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_gear

   Deeley valve gear - fitted to several express locomotives on the Midland Railway. The combination levers were driven, as normal, from the crossheads. Each expansion link was driven from the crosshead on the opposite side of the engine. Young valve gear - used the piston rod motion on one side of the locomotive to drive the valve gear on the ...

5. Desmodromic valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmodromic_valve

   A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine poppet valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The valves in a typical four-stroke engine allow the air/fuel mixture into the cylinder at the beginning of the cycle and exhaust spent gases at the end of the cycle.

6. Bagnall–Price valve gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagnall–Price_valve_gear

   Bagnall–Price valve gear on an 18 in gauge Bagnall product at the Kimberley diamond mine museum, South Africa Bagnall–Price valve gear is a type of steam engine valve gear developed at locomotive manufacturer W.G. Bagnall as an alternative to the more common Walschaerts valve gear and also to supersede the Baguley valve gear their designs had previously utilised.

7. Expansion valve (steam engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_valve_(steam_engine)

   Some large steam engines later used them as primary valves, either as exhaust valves for LP cylinders [6] or as inlet valves in conjunction with trip-[7] or cam valve gear. [8] [iii] Where gridiron valves are used as secondary valves, they were commonly mounted on the inlet side of the valve chamber for the primary slide valve.

8. Variable valve lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_lift

   The Porsche patent used an oscillating cam to increase the valve lift and duration. The desmodromic cam driven via a push/pull rod from an eccentric shaft or swashplate. It is unknown if any working prototype was ever made. Fiat was the first auto manufacturer to patent a functional automotive variable valve timing system which included ...
