2. Locking pliers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_pliers

   Locking pliers (also called Vise-Grips, Mole wrench or Mole grips) are pliers that can be locked into position, using an "over-center" cam action. Locking pliers are available with many different jaw styles, such as needle-nose pliers, wrenches, clamps and various shapes to fix metal parts for welding.

3. Timing belt (camshaft) - Wikipedia

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

   In most piston engines, the camshaft(s) are mechanically connected to the crankshaft. The crankshaft drives the camshaft (via a timing belt, timing chain or gears), which in turn actuates the intake and exhaust valves. [1] These valves allow the engine to inhale air (or an air/fuel mixture) and exhale the exhaust gasses. [2]

4. 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 ...

5. Helical camshaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helical_camshaft

   The application of the helical camshaft as a fuel saving tool is possibly an even more important application than just to maximise the power output of an engine. Testing of a helical camshaft prototype in a Suzuki GSX 250 cc engine has a shown a remarkable improvement in fuel economy at idle speeds. This particular helical camshaft is arranged ...

6. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

   In a diesel, the sensor will control the fuel injection. The sensor output may also be related to other sensor data including the cam position to derive the current combustion cycle, this is very important for the starting of a four-stroke engine. Sometimes, the sensor may become burnt or worn out - or just die of old age at high mileage.

7. Cam and groove - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_and_groove

   Cam and groove fittings are commonly available in several materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and polypropylene. [2] Because there are no threads to become fouled, cam and groove couplings are popular in moderately dirty environments, such as septic tank pump trucks and chemical or fuel tanker trucks.
