    摘要: Providing a rocker arm which can ensure the durability while reducing the inertial mass. The rocker arm (10) includes a valve abutment part (15) pressing a valve (80). The valve abutment part (15) includes a receiving wall (14) abutting against an end surface of a stem end (81A) of the valve (80) in a pressing state and a pair of sidewalls (13) protruding from both side ends (14A) of the receiving wall (14) so as to be opposed to each other and disposed along and in proximity to a side peripheral surface of the stem end (81A) of the valve (80). At least protruding distal ends of the sidewalls (13) each have a smaller thickness than adjacent portions and serve as a thinner portion (23).

    摘要: A rocker arm includes a roller, a support shaft coaxially mounted in the roller and having a first end portion and a second end portion, walls including at least a first wall and a second wall arranged along the rotation axis and opposite each other with having the roller therebetween, the first wall having a first through hole through which the first end portion is inserted and the second wall having a second through hole through which the second end portion is inserted, and plate portions including at least a first plate portion and a second plate portion arranged opposite each other with having the first wall, the second wall and the support shaft therebetween. The first plate portion is in contact with a first end surface of the first end portion and the second plate portion is in contact with a second end surface of the second end portion.

    摘要: An object is to provide a roller lifter which can maintain a proper dimensional accuracy of an outer diameter. A shaft (25) rotatably supporting a roller (30) is inserted through a pair of opposed portions (21) and swaged to be fixed. A cylindrical portion (61) is disposed to be fixed at a relative position to the opposed portions (21). Upon rotation of a cam (90), the cylindrical portion (61) is reciprocated via the roller (30). The roller lifter (10) includes a first member (20) in which the shaft (25) is swaged to be fixed to the opposed portions (21) and a second member (60) separate from the first member (20) and couplable via a coupling member to the first member (20). The second member (60) includes at least the cylindrical portion (61).
