Definition from
The Auto glossary.com:
A tubular metal shaft that rotates in an engine and features cam lobes that control the intake and exhaust valves. The camshaft is located within the engine block in overhead valve engines, and is located just above the cylinder head in overhead cam engines. Most engines have one camshaft, but a V-shaped (e.g., V6 or V8) single overhead cam engine will have two. An inline (e.g., a non-V-shaped 6-cylinder) dual overhead cam engine also will have two camshafts, while a V-shaped dohc engine will have four cams.
Example sentences:
Be aware that when using cams with greater than .430 inches of lift on some solid lifter heads, it may become necessary to clearance grind each side of the lifter bores to prevent camshaft interference with the cylinder head casting. (Autotech)
Overhead camshaft (OHC) valvetrain configurations place the camshaft within the cylinder heads, above the combustion chambers, and drive the valves or lifters directly instead of using pushrods. (Answers.com)
Over the last several years we have witnessed a decline in "stock" camshaft replacement, most everyone has moved toward custom camshafts grinds. (Delta Camshaft)

Wikipedia:
Kamakselen på en bensinmotor åpner og lukker ventilene på motoren. Dette gjøres for å ta inn luft/bensin og blåse ut eksos. Kamakselen er som regel forbundet med veivakselen med en registerreim.<br /><br />Tradisjonelt har man i en 4-sylindret motor én inntaksventil og én utblåsventil per sylinder, tilsammen 8 ventiler. I mange nyere motorer har man 16 ventiler. En 16V motor har to kamaksler; en til inntaksventilene og en til utblåsventilene. Grunnen til at man bruker fire ventiler for hver sylinder er at motoren skal puste lettere. Ventilene åpnes samtidig; grunnen til at det brukes doble kamakseler er at det ikke er nok plass til alle ventildytterene på en enkel aksel.<br /><br />Man kan se kamakselen ved å skru av toppdekselet på motoren. Disse er gjenstand for utbytting ved trimming av motoren, da kamakselens profil har mye å si for hvordan motoren yter ved høye turtall.
Example sentences:
4-sylindret dieselmotor med to overliggende kamaksler og 4 ventiler pr sylinder, turbo. (bilnorge.no)
Som eneste firma i Norge lager vi nye kamaksler på forespørsel til løpsbiler, gatebiler, veteranbiler, motorsykler, båter, lastebiler osv. (KM CAMS)
Overliggende kamaksel (OHC, fra engelsk overhead camshaft) har kamakselen plassert inni topplokket, over forbrenningskamrene og drive ventilene eller ventilarmene direkte i stedet for å bruke støtstenger. (Wikipedia)
