    摘要: A cam roller pin is rotationally fixed and defines a pin axis around which a cam roller is configured to rotate and apply a load at a load zone at a radially outer and lower end of the pin. The pin includes a reservoir configured to receive lubricant for lubrication of the cam roller rotating on the pin, a first lubricant path extending radially inward from the reservoir, a second lubricant path extending from the first lubricant path to a second lubricant path outlet, and a third lubricant path extending from the first lubricant path to a third lubricant path outlet.

    摘要: An axial retainment system for a shaft is provided. The axial retainment system includes a cylindrical body extending from an outboard end to an inboard end thereof, and a swaged ridge extending radially outward from the cylindrical body proximate the outboard end. The swaged ridge has an outboard axial surface facing toward the outboard end and extending radially outward and terminating at a radially outward facing circumferential surface. The swaged ridge has an inboard axial surface facing toward the inboard end and extending radially outward from the cylindrical body and terminating at the radially outward facing circumferential surface. The outboard axial surface of the swaged ridge is recessed axially inward from the outboard end of the shaft. The inboard axial surface of the swaged ridge is swaged against, conforms in shape to, and is compressed against a component to be axially retained on the shaft.

    摘要: A cam follower assembly includes a shaft having a body defining a flanged head having an outer bearing surface extending therefrom. An outer ring is positioned around the shaft thereby forming an annular space there between. A plurality of rollers is positioned in the annular space. A channel extends through the shaft and branches radially outward at an outlet to communicate with the annular space. A lubrication assembly is positioned in the shaft and includes a pressurizing device located upstream of a lubrication reservoir and a metering device positioned downstream of the lubrication reservoir. The lubrication reservoir is in fluid communication with the outlet. The lubrication assembly includes a membrane positioned downstream of the lubrication reservoir. A piercing device is positioned proximate the membrane to pierce the membrane and release a lubricant from the lubrication reservoir.

    摘要: A follower mechanism movable along an axis within a bore including an alignment groove. The follower mechanism includes a bucket with a cylindrical inner surface and a cylindrical outer surface, and a yoke positioned at least partially within the bucket, the yoke including a bottom wall and two opposed sidewalls depending upwardly therefrom, each sidewall defining a shaft aperture. A shaft with first and second ends is received in the shaft apertures, and a roller follower is rotatably received on the shaft such that a portion of the roller follower extends axially outwardly beyond the bucket.

    摘要: A roller tappet includes a roller and a roller shoe in which the roller is rotatably mounted. The roller shoe has a first lateral surface with a recess for receiving the roller, a second lateral surface opposite the first lateral surface, and a third lateral surface between the first and second lateral surfaces. The third lateral surface and at least part of the second lateral surface are each curved.

    摘要: A coupling pin anti-rotation arrangement is provided for a switchable roller finger follower within a valve train of an internal combustion engine. The coupling pin, located on one of the levers, has a first locking surface, and includes at least one coupling pin-side anti-rotation flat; the other lever, with a second locking surface, is configured with at least one lever-side anti-rotation flat. The at least one lever-side anti-rotation flat slidably guides the at least one coupling pin-side anti-rotation flat such that the first locking surface is aligned with the second locking surface throughout longitudinal displacement of the coupling pin within a coupling pin bore. The coupling pin anti-rotation arrangement is adaptable to various switchable roller finger follower designs that incorporate different valve lift strategies and lever configurations.
