Cummins 0115-0572 Tappet
Product Description:
-
The Tappet, also known as a valve lifter or cam follower, is a key engine component designed to transfer motion from the camshaft to the engine’s valves.
-
It ensures precise valve timing by converting the rotary motion of the camshaft into the linear motion needed to open and close the intake and exhaust valves. This process is critical for maintaining efficient combustion, smooth engine operation, and optimal power output.
-
Manufactured from high-quality, hardened steel or alloy materials, the tappet is built to withstand high pressure, friction, and heat within the engine’s valve train. Its precision-machined surface ensures smooth contact with the camshaft lobe, minimizing wear and ensuring consistent valve movement.
-
Some tappets are hydraulic, automatically adjusting to eliminate valve clearance, while others are solid, providing precise mechanical control in high-performance engines.
-
Tappets are used in automotive, marine, and industrial engines, particularly during engine rebuilds, valve system maintenance, or camshaft replacements. Proper tappet function ensures accurate valve timing, reduced noise, and extended engine life.
