Abstract: In a valve train (1) of an internal combustion engine (10), a tappet push rod (2) comprises on its first end (3), a tappet (5) and an uncoupling device (8) made as a single component, and on its second end (4), a hydraulic lash adjuster (15) that acts on a rocker arm. Due to this spatial separation of the lash adjuster (15) from the single component (5, 8), a component (5, 8) is obtained that has a reduced mass and a smaller diameter as well as a relatively simple structure. In addition, the lash adjuster (15) can now be supplied with hydraulic medium directly out of the rocker arm.

Abstract: A hydraulic clearance compensation element actuated by a cam of a camshaft and adapted for use with a valve drive, includes a casing closed on one end by a bottom which bears upon one end of a gas exchange valve, a pressure piston so received in the interior of the casing that a leakage gap for hydraulic fluid is formed between an outer surface area of the pressure piston and an adjacent side wall of the casing for enabling the clearance compensating function. The pressure piston and the casing are movable relative to one another in axial direction, with a high pressure chamber being defined between the bottom and a confronting end face of the pressure piston for receiving a hydraulic fluid. In order to provide the leakage gap of optimum size over the entire temperature range adjacent structural components of the pressure piston and the casing in the area of the leakage gap are configured in accordance with the following equation: ##EQU1## wherein C is a characteristic ratio number,S is the width of the leakage gap,.epsilon.' is the quotient of the thermal expansion coefficient .epsilon..sub.D of the pressure piston to the thermal expansion coefficient .epsilon..sub.G of the casing,

Abstract: A valve tappet actuated by a cam of an internal combustion engine comprises a cup (1) having a hollow cylindrical skirt (2) and a cup bottom (3) which closes the skirt (2) at one end. On an outer surface, the skirt (2) comprises a peripheral groove (4), and on an inner surface, at least one bead (5). Concentrically arranged within the cup (1) is an inner element (6) whose casing (9) bears against the bead (5, 21). A hydraulic valve clearance compensation element (10) is guided for axial displacement in the inner element (6). To simplify the manufacturing of this valve tappet, it is proposed that the cup (1) is hardened in a heat treatment process, and the inner element (5) is unhardened.

Abstract: A tappet (1) is to be engageable on to at least three different cam profiles with an optional zero lift. To this end the tappet (1) consists of an annular base section (2) enclosing a circular base section (3). Both base sections (2, 3) can be coupled together via radially adjustable coupling devices (10). An additional, axially movable inner piston (18) is fitted in a guide sleeve (7) of the circular base section (3). The inner piston (18) can be decoupled via further coupling means (23) so that the tappet (1) can be completely decoupled from the guide sleeve (7).
