Automotive tappets, also known as valve lifters or cam followers, are mechanical components found in internal combustion engines. They play a crucial role in the operation of the engine's valvetrain system, specifically in controlling the opening and closing of the engine's intake and exhaust valves. The main function of automotive tappets is to transmit the motion from the camshaft to the engine's valves. They are positioned between the camshaft lobes and the valves, acting as an intermediary that converts the rotational motion of the camshaft into linear motion to open and close the valves. The design and construction of tappets can vary depending on the engine type and valvetrain configuration. Some engines utilize hydraulic tappets, which contain an internal hydraulic mechanism to automatically adjust for valve clearance. This hydraulic system compensates for wear and thermal expansion, maintaining proper valve lash (clearance) without requiring manual adjustment. On the other hand, other engines may incorporate solid tappets, which lack the hydraulic compensation mechanism. Owing to these benefits, automotive tappets are widely utilized across the automotive industry.
