What is Tappet?

Tappet is used to apply linear force from one part of the machine, such as a piece in the car engine, to the other part inside this machine. This is usually because both parts should come into direct contact with each other, this could cause damage to one or both parts. Tappet provides contact between them, so only the quantity and direction of force needed to move part of the machine is applied.

The most common example of the gate is located inside the combustion engine, the type of engine found in most modern cars. For the engine to work, the valves must be open and closed so that the air can enter the engine and cause combustion that moves the car forward. The valves must be closed during the combustion itself and reopen after the explosion to release the air and allow new air to enter further explosion.

These valves are usually raised by a part known as a camshaft. The camshaft turns around and as it does, small eggs in the shape of an egg called cams hnish up to tYČ, which in turn pushes the other parts that open the valves. When the cam is turned to the flat side of the egg shape, the rod is lowered and the valve closes. The cam still rotates and this process opens and closes the valves.

is located at the bottom of this rod. It is a cylinder -shaped piece of metal with which the cams come into contact. The cam is pushing on the tappet, which is part of the rod, and therefore the rod is pushed up. Tappet is there to prevent the strength of the swivel cams in the bending of the rod. It ensures that the force is pushing the rod up and not to the side.

Another type of Tappet is the hydraulic tappet. It performs the same basic function, but is designed so that the engine sounds quieter during use and modifications to the valve clearance may not be regularly performed. The disadvantage of using the hydraulic tapt is that the car is first running and in some engines, loudly rattling meters and preventing the valves from opening. These problems usuallyIt depends on the type of car in which hydraulic taps are used.
