In the present economic environment, major engine repairs have become more common and replacement of major components is much more likely. Central to this is the camshaft and if this requires replacement then quality is crucial. 

MS Motorservice are experts in the supply of engine parts and as part of this offer a comprehensive range of replacement camshafts. In order to cope with high bending and torsional stresses over a long period of time, the camshafts from the product range offer very high strength values. 

As the most important control element in the valve train, the camshaft decisively determines the timing and volume of gas exchanges in the cylinder. It is driven by the drive pulley through the crankshaft and controls the engine's valve train. It ensures that the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the predetermined time. The opening period, valve stroke and motion during opening and closing are determined by the shape of the cam.

The MS Motorservice range comprises approximately 500 shafts with around 30 new part numbers added each year to provide up to minute coverage. 

High quality is ensured throughout the range through the use of state-of-the-art measurement methods with 3D coordinate measuring devices and 3D scanners, as well as through material testing, development and incoming goods inspection. The range also benefits from access to detailed product know-how from the Rheinmetall Group's OE development meaning precise tolerances according to OE specifications.

The range covers; Composite camshafts, Bottom-mounted camshafts and Combined camshafts. 

MS Motorservice says that to avoid damage caused by interacting sliding parts that have become worn, camshafts should always be replaced together with their associated interacting sliding parts. The associated valve actuating elements such as tappets, rocker arms, finger-type rockers or valve compensating elements are offered separately by Motorservice.
