crankshaft gear

The crankshaft pulley is a central component in the engine and plays a crucial role in controlling the valve train. It sits directly on the crankshaft and transmits the rotational motion to the camshaft via the timing belt or chain. This ensures precise synchronization between the crankshaft and the valve train.

Crankshaft sprockets are usually designed as gears or pulleys and are made of high-strength steel or special alloys to withstand the high mechanical stresses in the engine. Modern engines often also use the crankshaft sprocket as a signal transmitter for the crankshaft position sensor, which provides important data for the engine control unit, for example, to determine the exact crankshaft position and engine speed.

A damaged or worn crankshaft sprocket can lead to problems with valve timing synchronization and thus impair engine performance. Symptoms can include rough running, starting problems, or engine management errors. Therefore, a precisely manufactured and perfectly fitting sprocket is particularly important.
