Abstract

The technique for measuring the rotational speed of tappet in direct acting type valve train system has been developed. The optic signal monitoring system with laser and optic fiber was designed to follow the signal of tappet rotation. The system was based on ON/OFF signal generation trom the additional encoder teeth under the tappet with optic fibers attached photo transistor. The data showed that tappet rotation was affected by offset, oil temperature and cam shaft operating speed. Also it was found that tappet rotation increases with oil temperature. Tappet spin was delayed 10 - s20° cam angle after valve opening. The instantaneous rotational speed of tappet was reciprocal to carn shaft speed and the tappet and the carn angle ratio was located in the range of 0.1 - 0.3.
