Description
Overview:
The Cam Shaft Ay - Robin Part - RB228 31601 10 is a precision-engineered camshaft for small four‐stroke petrol engines used across construction and garden machinery. Made from hardened steel for strength and wear resistance, it features accurately machined lobes and journals to control inlet and exhaust valve timing. Correct cam timing supports reliable starting, stable idle, good fuel economy, and consistent power under load. Typical applications include plate compactors, generators, water pumps, pressure washers, and professional lawn and turf equipment. Often specified for Robin/Subaru small engines, including RB228 and related units used by many OEMs. This camshaft is a straightforward replacement during servicing or rebuilds, helping restore factory performance and extend engine life when the original cam has worn or been damaged.
Key Features:
- Hardened steel construction for long service life and wear resistance
- Precision-ground lobes and journals for accurate valve timing and smooth operation
- OEM‐equivalent dimensions to support straightforward fitment and clearances
- Stable performance across typical operating temperatures and loads
- Smooth running surfaces to minimise wear on followers and bearings
- Suitable where the RB228 31601 10 specification is required on Robin/Subaru‐powered equipment
- Works for routine maintenance as well as complete engine overhauls
- Can be installed with standard workshop tools to reduce downtime
Typical Applications:
Replacement camshaft for small Robin/Subaru petrol engines fitted to compactors, generators, centrifugal pumps, plate tampers, lawn mowers, tillers, and light construction machines. Use when addressing hard starting, poor running, mis‐timed valve events, or visible cam wear. Suitable for plant hire fleets, groundskeeping teams, workshop rebuilds, and DIY repairs needing reliable, repeatable engine timing.
Also known as:
Camshaft assembly, engine camshaft, cam, timing shaft, valve timing shaft, inlet/exhaust cam, cam gear shaft (where applicable). These terms refer to the rotating shaft that opens and closes the engine's valves in time with the crankshaft.
