Abstract: A valve actuating mechanism which can be set to three different strokes for a gas exchange valve includes a finger lever actuated by a control cam with a single lift curve, with the finger lever being selectively connectable to a longitudinal guide in the region of its bearing member via incorporation of a piston that is movable in various positions. In a first coupling position of the piston, the bearing member is fixed to the longitudinal guide so that the finger lever executes a maximum pivot during the lift phase of the cam. In a second coupling position of the piston the finger lever is moved axially along the longitudinal guide during a complete cam lift so that the opening cross section of the gas exchange valve is smaller than in the first coupling step. In a third coupling step of the piston, the finger lever executes an idle stroke-pivoting movement on its point of contact on the gas exchange valve which remains closed.

Abstract: A cam follower (1) comprises an annular and a circular bottom portion (2, 3). The two bottom portions (2, 3) are concentric to each other, and a low lift cam (4) is arranged opposite the circular bottom portion (3) while at least one high lift cam (5) is arranged opposite the annular bottom portion (2). The cams (4, 5) are arranged out-of-phase with each other in circumferential direction. Since, therefore, when the cam follower (1) is coupled to the high lift cam (5), the low lift cam (4) would disadvantageously actuate the cam follower (1) with its excess lift, a means is provided in the cam follower for compensating this undesired lift.
