Engine Camshaft Idler Gear
Volvo

The camshaft idler gear is an integral part of the engine’s timing system, ensuring synchronized rotation between the camshaft and crankshaft. Its precise operation maintains proper valve timing, which is critical for engine efficiency, power output, and emissions control. Made from high-strength materials, this gear resists wear and deformation under high loads and continuous operation. Proper functioning of the idler gear prevents timing chain slippage or failure, which could lead to severe engine damage. Regular inspection and replacement are recommended to sustain optimal engine performance.
