whose device rotates the valve a few degrees each time it opens. It is for
object to extend the life of the valve by making its wear more uniform and reducing the
accumulation of dirt on the valve face and seat and between the stem and guide.
To open the valves, a camshaft is used that is synchronized with the distribution of
motor and whose rotation speed is half that of the crankshaft; therefore, the diameter of its
The gear will be the rocker arm shaft of a diesel engine with a diameter double that of the crankshaft.
Likewise, depending on their situation, the pushing mechanism of the valves varies.
It has been designed to be installed in the same way as a conventional valve spring and it
Use when it is imperative to achieve maximum valve longevity. Rotation occurs as
result of the regular movement of the valves being dependent on the difference in the
spring load of the valve between the closed position of the valve and the open. In strokes of
test, the lifespan of the valves has been extended from 20,000 to 85,000 miles (32,000 to 137
000 km), for the use of valve turners.
When the camshaft is lateral, the pushing mechanism consists of cam, tappet, rod,
rocker and rocker shaft.
When the camshaft is at the front, the cam acts directly on a cylindrical box.
* There are also other engines with four valves per cylinder where the camshaft acts directly on a
roller of a fork-shaped rocker. The principle is the same as that of side cams.
with the difference that the push rod has been abandoned.
