Caterpillar Camshafts: Precision Timing for Engine Reliability

Caterpillar camshafts are the vital link between your engine’s crankshaft and its valves, controlling the precise opening and closing times of the intake and exhaust valves to optimize combustion, power, and emissions. Each camshaft is designed for specific CAT engine models like the C15, 3406E, 3304, 3306, and many others with features such as hardened lobes, precision bearings, and secure gear drives to ensure consistent, reliable valve operation even under heavy loads. Camshafts are available new, with or without integrated gears, and as remanufactured units all meeting or exceeding Caterpillar’s original specs for hardness, lift, duration, and balancing.

A worn or damaged camshaft can cause loss of power, poor fuel economy, excessive emissions, and engine misfires. Regular inspection and timely replacement help prevent costly engine damage and maintain performance. Propel Parts offers a wide selection of genuine or premium quality replacement camshafts for Caterpillar equipment and related components like camshaft bearings and gears with clear compatibility listings and fast shipping, so you can quickly find the right part for your engine.

Due to the fact that camshafts open and close engine valves while rotating, they have a considerable effect on the engine performance. This is why only perfect parts that meet the required standards pass our quality inspections. Our camshafts ensure long-term operation efficiency as a result of careful and quality based production. We guarantee a long-life camshaft, as well as less downtime and smooth running engines.
