Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/25/2018 -- A camshaft is a mechanical component of an internal combustion engine, and is vital for the operation of the engine cycle, along with the crankshaft. A crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion, while the camshaft opens the engine valves in sync with crankshaft movement cycle. As the flow of the air/fuel mixture is controlled by the valves, there is a need to for them to be opened and closed at the correct time during the piston's stroke. Hence, the camshaft is connected in sync to the crankshaft either through a gear mechanism (direct), or through a belt or chain mechanism (Indirect, also known as a timing belt/ timing chain). In a four stroke engine, two complete rotations of a crankshaft are required for one rotation of camshaft, thus opening the engine valves after every two crankshaft rotations.

In a two stroke engine, a camshaft rotation is achieved with a single rotation of the crankshaft, thus leading to opening of engine valves at every crankshaft rotation. There may be several cams linked to a one or more camshafts, as per the engine configuration. Proper functioning of the camshaft is vital for the smooth opening and closing of engine valves in sync with the crankshaft rotation, which is where camshaft bearings come into play. Camshaft bearings help the harmonious functioning of the camshaft by supporting it and providing for its rotation, aiding in the timely movement of engine valves. Thus, camshaft bearings plays an important role in the ultimate movement of the vehicle.

Camshaft Bearings Market:Dynamics

Traditionally, the main focus for innovation in engine bearings has been on the main and connecting rod bearings, and their role in operation of crankshaft, and not particularly on camshaft bearings. Since camshaft bearings are considered less prone to the loads witnessed by crankshaft bearings, they have been not the prime target for innovation in terms of materials technology. However, camshaft bearings are also vulnerable to the same operational hazards such as contamination, misalignment, lack of lubrication and overloading, which is commonly suffered by other engine bearings. Thus, the Camshaft Bearings also need to have good resistance to fatigue, and strength to withstand considerable stress and strain. Moreover, with increasingly tightening regulations and ever-expanding customer expectations of engine performance, there is a growing need among component manufacturers to offer the best quality components in the best possible price. Hence, there is a growing competition among manufacturers and component suppliers to use camshaft bearings that have the required strength and are affordable to produce for high volume requirements. An understanding of the trends and forecasts of the Camshaft Bearings market is a must for all stakeholders to stay ahead of the competition. Camshaft Bearings production has traditionally been dominated by tin and lead based billet material. However, aluminum alloys are offering similar or even better performance and are fast becoming the choice material for camshaft bearings. Thus there are is lots of scope for new opportunities in the Camshaft Bearings market.

Camshaft Bearings Market:Regional Outlook

The demand for Camshaft Bearings is set to grow at a good pace in the next five to ten years as the demand for passenger as well as commercial vehicles is pegged to witness significant growth, especially in the emerging economies of Asia Pacific. China in particular will generate significant demand for Camshaft Bearings. China has the world's largest automotive manufacturing industry, and demand for Camshaft Bearings will be driven by continuing high consumption levels of passenger as well as commercial vehicles. Passenger vehicles are projected to be a prominent segment of the Camshaft Bearings market during the forecast period. The Camshaft Bearings market in Europe will be led by Germany. The U.S. remains largest market for Camshaft Bearings in North America. The aftermarket application presents significant opportunities for camshaft bearings market in all regions, as engine refurbishments are increasing for reuse cars, creating demand for camshaft bearings.
