Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Camshafts & Timing Components

Camshafts are critical components that control valve timing and ensure efficient air-fuel exchange within diesel engines. Our catalog includes a wide range of camshafts, cam gears, camshaft balancers, thrust supports, and timing components for major engine platforms such as Cummins ISX15, ISL, ISB, QSM11; Detroit Diesel DD13, DD15, Series 60; Caterpillar C12, C13; Volvo D12; Paccar MX13; Ford T444E; International/Navistar 7.3 & 6.0 Powerstroke and other heavy-duty applications.

Why the right camshaft is essential for engine performance

A precisely machined diesel engine camshaft ensures accurate valve opening and closing, optimized combustion, reduced emissions, and stable engine operation under demanding workloads. Worn, bent, or damaged cam lobes can lead to misfires, loss of power, low fuel efficiency, excessive smoke, and severe internal wear – issues especially critical for long-haul trucks, construction machinery, agricultural equipment, and vocational diesel engines operating under high load.

When selecting a replacement camshaft, consider:

• compatibility with engine model, displacement, and OEM part number,
• cam profile and gear tooth count (e.g., 111-tooth, 133-tooth, 187-tooth models),
• matching components such as camshaft gears, balancers, thrust housings,
• required durability and material hardness for long-term reliability.

Engineered for durability, precision, and long service life

All camshafts in this category are designed to withstand high RPM stress, thermal expansion, and continuous friction inside the engine block. Many units include reinforced lobes, hardened surfaces, and precision-cut cam gears to maintain consistent timing under extreme working conditions. Whether you’re performing an in-frame rebuild, replacing a worn Cummins ISX camshaft, restoring a Detroit Diesel DD15 intake cam, or upgrading timing components on a Caterpillar C12 engine, each part delivers stable valve operation, smoother performance, and extended engine longevity.
