Abstract: A switchable rocker arm for valve deactivation is provided for a valve train of an internal combustion engine. The switchable rocker arm includes a cam lever assembly, a valve lever assembly, and a hydraulically actuated coupling assembly that is radially arranged between the cam lever and valve lever assemblies. The coupling assembly includes a shuttle pin, a locking pin with a round or flat locking interface, and optional shuttle pin and locking pin sleeves. In a first, locked position, the rotational motion of a camshaft is translated to linear motion of an engine valve. In a second, unlocked position, the cam lever assembly rotates about the valve lever assembly, facilitating valve deactivation. A pivot joint arranged between the cam lever and valve lever assemblies facilitates an arcuate lost motion of the cam lever assembly. An integrated arrangement for one or more lost motions springs offers packaging and functional advantages.

Abstract: A cam follower for a valve train of an internal combustion engine, the cam follower being formed as a lever, which is U-shaped in cross-section, and produced from steel sheet without machining, and which has a floor wall (3) and lateral walls (4 and 5) extending therefrom, wherein a valve stem support (10) is disposed as a groove (11) at one end of the lever in a surface of the floor wall (3) facing away from the lateral walls (4 and 5). Lateral guide walls (12 and 13) of the valve stem support (10) are formed by chipless shaping so as to extend from and counter to the lateral walls (4 and 5) and are connected to a support wall (14) that forms a valve stem support surface (10a). The valve stem support surface (10a) extends in a first plane (10b), which is spaced from a second plane (16a), which extends through an internal transition (15, 16) between the lateral walls (4 and 5) and the adjacent guide walls (12 and 13), in the direction of ends (19, 20) of the lateral walls (4 and 5). In order to reduce stress and resulting cracks, an inner radius R is provided at the transition (15 and 16), by which radius a free space (17, 18) is created between the lateral wall (4, 5) and the guide wall (12, 13), which free space narrows towards the end (19, 20) of the respective lateral wall (4, 5).
