Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a roller cam follower for reciprocating a rocker arm in an overhead valve mechanism of an internal combustion engine. The overhead valve mechanism has a camshaft located below or laterally above. Background technique
[0002] This roller cam follower is made by DE 36 38 202 figure 1 Shown in. This roller cam follower has a relatively large mass, which disadvantageously becomes a vibrating valve train mass. The cam roller is accommodated in the recess of the housing and thus determines its radial extension over almost the entire height of the housing. Since the housing is nearly extended over the entire axial extension of the roller cam follower, its outer peripheral surface must be completely finely ground, which is costly. In addition, it has been confirmed that the construction / manufacturing of the roller cam follower, especially in small batches, is very costly, and it is usually necessary to redesign the roller cam follower fo...
