Components of the valve Operating Mechanism
- CRANKSHAFT
- CAMSHAFT
- CAMLOBE
- TAPPET VALVE
- PUSH ROD
- ROCKER ARM
- VALVE AND SPRING ASSEMBLY
Is the component that
initiates the operation of the
valve operating mechanism.
Crankshaft
Is the component driven by
the crankshaft responsible for
the opening and closing of the
intake and exhaust valves
through the lobes as the shaft
rotates.
Camshaft
Is a component connected
with the push rod that
converts the rotational
motion of the camshaft into
linear motion of the push rod.
Tappet valve
Is the component of the valve
operating mechanism moving
in linear motion that pushes
the rocker arm to open the
intake and exhaust valve.
Push Rod
Is a component that is
controlled by the movement
of the push rod that pushes
the intake and exhaust valves
open.
Rocker Arm
Valve Spring Assembly
- Inner and Outer Valve
spring - Retainers
- Split key
- Valve Guide
- Valve seat
- Intake and Exhaust valves
The functions of the valve
springs are to close the valve
and to hold the valve securely
on the valve seat.
Inner and outer valve springs
Is a component or part of the
spring assembly that holds
the valve stem to the retainer.
Split key
A valve guide is a cylindrical
piece of metal, pressed or
integrally cast into the cylinder
head, with the valve
reciprocating inside it.
Valve Guide
The valve seat is the surface
against which an intake or an
exhaust valve rests during the
portion of the engine
operating cycle when the valve
is closed.
Valve seat
Are the components being
driven into precise timing by
the whole operation of the
valve operating mechanism.
