    Abstract: A latch assembly (500) can comprise a main latch pin assembly (531, 532) comprising a first diameter (D1) on a first main pin face (512, 522), and a secondary latch piston (541, 561) comprising a second diameter (D2) on a secondary piston face (543, 563). The secondary latch piston can be configured to selectively act on the main latching pin assembly. The main latch pin assembly can be biased to oppose the secondary latch piston. The first diameter can be greater than the second diameter. A rocker arm assembly (10) can comprise the latch assembly. A primary arm (100) can be configured to receive the main latch pin assembly. A secondary arm (300) can be configured to receive the secondary latch piston.

    Abstract: A rocker arm assembly capable of switchably deactivating a roller assembly includes a valve end and a cam end having first and second roller assemblies, and a latching mechanism. The latching mechanism includes rocker body pins and roller body pins. The rocker body pins include first and second end pins and a connection pin, each pin provided within a rocker arm body along a latching axis. The roller body pins include first and second locking pins, each roller body pin provided within a respective roller assembly. In a first latching mode, the first roller assembly is deactivated and the second roller assembly is activated. In a second latching mode, the second roller assembly is deactivated and the first roller assembly is activated.

    Abstract: A rocker arm assembly can include an outer arm having an outer rocker shaft bore configured to receive a rocker shaft and an inner arm having an inner rocker shaft bore configured to receive the rocker shaft. The inner arm can be configured to selectively rotate. A latch pin can be movably seated in the outer arm and configured to move between a latched position and an unlatched position. The rocker arm assembly can further include a lost motion spring. The lost motion spring can include a first end connected to a connecting portion of the inner arm above the inner rocker shaft bore and a second end connected to the outer arm. The inner arm can include an inner arm stop member configured contact with a corresponding outer arm stop member of the outer arm.

    Abstract: A switching roller finger follower (SRFF) for valve actuation includes an outer arm (16), a first inner arm (12), a bearing axle (50) and a latch pin (26). The outer arm (16) is formed of a metal stamping, and is pivotally coupled to a main axle (40). The first inner arm (12) is coupled to the main axle (40) and is pivotably secure to the outer arm. The bearing axle (50) extends through the outer arm and the first inner arm. The bearing axle supports a roller (20) thereon. The latch pin (26) is slidably disposed in the outer arm (16) and is movable between at least a first position where the outer arm (16) and the first inner arm (12) are coupled for concurrent rotation and a second position wherein one of the outer arm and the first inner arm are configured to rotate relative to the other arm.
