Unlike many of its competitors, which machine their cams from cast steel, CATCAMS cuts its camshafts straight 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 pulley, etc.) has been recognised worldwide for many years, thanks to genuine know-how and a precise study of engines and applications. Each camshaft profile has been developed according to the specific features of each engine, but also according to the intended use (road, sport, rally, drag, circuit, etc.).

Two parameters matter when choosing a camshaft profile: valve lift and the angle (duration of opening). A longer duration increases power and torque, while a higher lift optimises power at high engine speeds.
