Hi, I'm trying to find some formulas to figure out the force on the bolts of a cam gear.
HowlerMonkey said:You would need to know the make of the car to determine flywheel weight which affects acceleration of the crankshaft as well as the mass of the camshaft, gear, and chain.
Also need the geometry of the sliding rails and the tensioner location.
The force applied on cam gear bolts is the amount of external pressure or load that is exerted on the bolts, usually measured in units of pounds (lbs) or Newtons (N).
The force on cam gear bolts is calculated using the formula F = m*a, where F is the force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration. In the case of cam gear bolts, the mass would be the weight of the cam gear and the acceleration would be the rotational speed of the camshaft.
The force on cam gear bolts is affected by several factors such as the weight of the cam gear, the speed of the engine, the type of material the bolts are made of, and the torque applied to the bolts during installation.
It is important to consider the force on cam gear bolts because if the force exceeds the maximum load limit for the bolts, they can break or fail, leading to engine damage or failure. It is crucial to ensure that the cam gear bolts are able to withstand the force applied to them in order to maintain the proper functioning of the engine.
The force on cam gear bolts can be measured using a torque wrench or a dynamometer. These tools can accurately measure the amount of torque or force applied to the bolts and ensure that it falls within the recommended range for the specific bolts being used.
