Intermediate Shaft The Intermediate Shaft is used in the Internal Combustion Engine. The Internal Combustion Engine uses an Intermediate Shaft to drive the Camshaft and Crankshaft. The Camshaft to Crankshaft ratio must be 1:2 in all Internal Combustion Engines. The Intermediate Shaft is a shaft that lowers the timing chain speed in order to reduce Timing Chain wear. A Timing Chain will wear out at a reduced rate if its velocity is lowered. The Intermediate Shaft is supported at each end with a bearing. The Intermediate Shaft is driven by the Crankshaft. The Intermediate Shaft will reduce Timing Chain speed and still keep Camshaft to Crankshaft ratio at 1:2. One example of the Intermediate Shaft is used in the Porsche Engine. Porsche used the Intermediate Shaft from 1955 to 2008.
