noun kamkæm 1A projection on a rotating part in machinery, designed to make sliding contact with another part while rotating and impart reciprocal or variable motion to it. Example sentencesExamples - You get one cylinder head rather than two, two cams rather than four, one cam drive system rather than two and so on.

- The engine has dual overhead cams, continuously variable intake and exhaust valve timing, polymer coating on the pistons, and other features that provide performance for the vehicle.
- Contact between the cams and the tappets in the valve train span the mixed and boundary regions.
- No matter what angle the cam is rotated to, it will have the same angular relationship to the crack.
- The intake cams have more lift, while the exhaust cams now have less to reduce mechanical power loss.
- It included three wall-mounted sculptures and one large installation, each made kinetic by means of a cam or pulley mechanism.
- Solid, or mechanical, lifters provide more direct contact between the cam and pushrod and accordingly can rev up to 8,000 rpm.
- The closeness of the lobes of both the quad cams and dual cams can result in dirt and grime buildup that can be difficult to clean.
- When a cylinder fires, the piston rod is at an angle and can immediately turn the crankshaft via the cam at the end of the pivoting arm.
- 1.1 A camshaft.
Example sentencesExamples - Bill had rebuilt the engine and had fitted a BRR2 Piper cam which was hotter than the one previously used.
- The all-aluminum engines feature dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder.
- Generally, the amount of fuel discharged by this system is controlled by the accelerator pump arm and cam; the duration of the discharge is controlled by the size of the squirter jets.
- Advances in technology means that engines work more efficiently using an overhead cam.
- The cam made the engine too lumpy for slow moving London driving and the radiator barely coped with the extra heat.
2informal A camera. Example sentencesExamples - They did enjoy every minute of it, sitting in Santa's lap and grinning from ear to ear as Santa's assistants clicked them on Polaroid cams and handed over the framed snaps in a jiffy.

- I will try to take a few with my mini digital cam, which at least can be instantly uploaded to the web with this log.
