Abstract:
The cam follower roller device provides a tappet body extending along an axis, an insert 18 mounted in the tappet body, a pin 14 mounted at least on the insert and a roller mounted on the pin. The device further provides a removable retaining plug carried by the tappet body and adapted to retain the insert relative to the body. A radial interference fit is provided between the retaining plug and the tappet body.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a cam follower providing a tappet having a cylindrical outer surface centered on a longitudinal axis (Y1) and adapted to slide in a housing surrounding the tappet, a pin extending between two opposite ends along a transverse axis (X1) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a roller element movable in rotation relative to the pin around the transverse axis and adapted to roll on a cam. The tappet is made of a composite material integrating at least one dry lubricant released at the cylindrical outer surface when the cam follower is in operation. The invention also concerns a valve actuator for a motor vehicle, providing such a cam follower. The invention also concerns a method for manufacturing such a cam follower.
Abstract:
A mechanical system, comprising a tappet including a body, a support element defining two bores centered on a first axis, a pin comprising two opposite ends each adapted to be fitted in one of the two bores, and a roller element positioned between the two bores along the first axis and movable in rotation relative to the pin around the first axis. The support element is distinct from the body and fixed thereto, and the support element also comprises at least one antirotation device integrally formed thereto. The mechanical system can be integrated into an injection pump and/or a valve actuator.
Abstract:
A mechanical system forms a cam follower or a rocker arm and includes a support element, a pin extending between two opposite ends along a first axis and supported by the support element, and a roller mounted on the pin, movable in rotation relative to the pin around the first axis and adapted to roll on a cam. The support element includes a first axial abutment feature blocking the translation of a pin assembly including at least the pin, in a first direction parallel to a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The mechanical system additionally includes an insert inserted in the support element and supporting the pin opposite the first axial abutment feature, wherein the first axial abutment feature protrudes outside a cavity delimited by the support element and receiving the pin.
Abstract:
A mechanical system comprising: a tappet, including a body; an insert mounted in the body; a pin extending along a first axis; and a roller element movable in rotation relative to the pin around the first axis. The insert supports the pin, while the body supports the insert, along at least one first direction parallel to a second axis which is perpendicular to the first axis. The mechanical system can be integrated into an injection pump and/or a valve actuator.
Abstract:
A mechanical system, forming a cam follower or a rocker arm, the mechanical system comprising: a support element; a pin extending between two opposite ends along a first axis and supported by the support element; and a roller movable in rotation relative to the pin around the first axis and adapted to roll on a cam. The support element includes an inner cavity in which the roller is at least partially arranged and which is adapted to contain an oil bath for lubricating the roller. Examples of applications for the mechanical system include a follower device, an injection pump or a valve actuator.
Abstract:
A cam follower roller device, notably for fuel injection pump of an internal combustion engine, the cam follower roller device comprising a casing, a shaft mounted on the casing and a roller rotatably mounted on the shaft. The casing comprises on its periphery at least four openings made through the thickness of the casing and located in such a way that two openings face one end of the outer cylindrical surface of the roller.
Abstract:
A transmission pulley, for a power transmission system including a belt having longitudinal grooves, having at least one end cap, a stack (E) of identical crowns, as well as means of connecting the crowns and the cap, parallel to a rotational axis (X10) of the pulley and rotating about this axis. The cap defines a hollow housing wherein half of the adjacent crown is engaged on one side of a median plane of the crown.
Abstract:
The cage blank for a free wheel with at least one of rolling bodies and cams wherein the cage blank has two parts and comprises a main part defining cells for receiving the at least one of rolling bodies and cams. The cage blank includes a cover for closing the cells. Before the cover is assembled on the main part, each cell has, at an axial end, along a longitudinal axis of the main part, an opening for placing a rolling body or a cam.
Abstract:
Suspension thrust bearing device comprising a rolling bearing (2) and a bottom cover (4) having a bearing surface capable of accommodating a suspension spring (5), the bottom cover (4) comprising a reinforcing framework (8), which framework has a bearing collar (17) placed axially between the rolling bearing (2) and the bearing surface of the spring (5), the framework (8) also comprising an inner radial extension (19). The framework comprises an axial portion (20) extending in a direction away from the rolling bearing (2), protruding axially relative to the inner radial extension (19) and being situated radially outside the radial extension so as to be able to accommodate a shock-absorbing pad.
