+A camshaft is a rotating shaft that converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion. It uses a series of pointed or eccentric lobes, called [cams](/wiki/cam), to operate engine [valves](/wiki/valve), precisely timing their opening and closing. This mechanical heart orchestrates the flow of gases in an [internal combustion engine](/wiki/internal_combustion_engine).
