Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a tappet assembly for a machine. The assembly may include a tappet body, a pin fixedly mounted in the tappet body, and a substantially cylindrical roller mounted about the pin. The roller may have a substantially cylindrical outer surface with a circumferential dimension and a width dimension, the width dimension being defined by two lateral edges. The roller may be configured to provide rolling contact between the outer surface of the roller and a cam lobe. The outer surface of the roller may be crowned such that at maximum operational loading conditions of the machine a footprint of contact pressure from the cam lobe is spread substantially the full width of outer cylindrical surface of the roller.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switchable cam follower of a valve train of an internal combustion engine, comprising an outer follower and an inner follower interposed between the lateral walls thereof. A roller extends between arms of the inner follower, float-mounted on a pin, as the counter face for an eccentric disk. The followers are disposed on one end on a common axis. On the distal end, they have elongate seats that, at the base of the cam, are mutually aligned. A coupling element is located in the seat of the outer follower and can be displaced step by step into the seat (here follower surface) of the inner follower. The pin on the inner follower slightly projects over the arms of the inner follower with one projection each. When coupled, upper sides of the projections rest against lower sides of stop surfaces that are mounted on the inner surfaces of the lateral walls of the outer follower.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a variable valve operating device and makes it possible to inhibit friction during driving force transmission and provide high durability through the use of a compact configuration.A first roller 170, which comes into contact with a drive cam surface 124 of a camshaft 120, has a larger diameter than a second roller 172, which comes into contact with a slide surface 156 of a swing member 150. A coupling shaft 174 couples the first roller 170 to the second roller 172 so that the rollers 170, 172 can rotate independently. The slide surface 156 is curved toward the drive cam surface 124.

Abstract: A valve-deactivation hydraulic valve lifter including a recessed face on the pin housing for making contact with the a crowned surface region of a roller follower. The lifter includes a pin housing that is slidably disposed within an axial bore in a lifter body. Pins for variably locking the pin housing to the lifter body may be disengaged to place the lifter in lost-motion mode by application of engine oil to the outer ends of the pins. A surface of the pin housing, preferably configured as a dished surface, is formed on the bottom end face of the pin housing that approaches the cam-following lifter roller for making contact with the roller follower so as to avoid contacting the roller follower's crowned surface region.
