WEB-CAM has been hard welding and grinding cams since 1945. With their knowledge, and long time involvement with the racing industry WEB-CAM has proven to be the best.

The nickel based hard facing alloys are homogeneous materials containing complex microscopic bi- and tri-metallics. These weld overlays greatly enhance the erosion and abrasion resistance of the hard welded parts. In addition, they offer very high thermal fatigue resistance.

During the welding process a metallurgical bond is achieved with the substrate. The overlay’s natural lubricity and their resistance to galling coupled with low RMS finishes mean less wear on both the cams and your mating surfaces.

WEB-CAM is constantly designing new profiles for new applications, so if you want up to the minute information please don't hesitate to call us directly, we are here to help you.

Our web site lists our most popular products and services. Many of our products have helped racers win national championships and set national and world records. The top professionals have put their trust in WEB-CAM constant research and development program that includes race track and dyno testing.

Whether you choose a cam for normal off-road or racing, you can be certain the same attention to detail is given to all applications.

The entire crew at WEB-CAM has a dedication to top quality workmanship and reflects the owners dedication to quality, performance and innovation.
