The Crankshaft Gear is a component of the engine that connects to the crankshaft and drives the camshaft. It is designed to rotate at a specific speed in order to ensure proper timing of the engine's valves and pistons. The gear is made from durable materials such as steel or cast iron and features teeth that mesh with those on the camshaft. As the crankshaft rotates, it turns the gear which in turn drives the camshaft, controlling valve timing and combustion cycles. The Crankshaft Gear plays a vital role in ensuring proper engine performance and should be inspected regularly for wear or damage.
