Unlike many of its competitors, which machine their cams from cast steel, CATCAMS cuts its camshafts directly from billet, which makes them far stronger. In most cases CATCAMS camshafts are hollow, in order to reduce their mass.

CATCAMS expertise in camshafts and their accessories (valve springs, mechanical cam followers, vernier cam pulleys and more) has been recognised worldwide for many years, thanks to genuine know-how and a precise study of engines and applications. Every camshaft profile has been developed to suit the specific features of each engine, and also the intended use (road, sport, rally, drag, circuit and more).

Two parameters matter when choosing a camshaft profile: valve lift and the angle (duration). Longer opening times bring gains in power and torque, while more lift optimises power at high engine speeds.
