Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017116918A1] A switching roller finger follower for valve actuation comprises a pair of outer arms comprising an axle mounting. A bridge portion joins the pair of outer arms. A latch assembly comprises a ferrule. The ferrule is configured to reciprocate in a latch recess. An inner arm is pivotably mounted to a main axle and comprises a bearing rotatably mounted to a bearing axle. The bearing is configured to transfer forces from a cam lobe to the inner arm. A catch on the inner arm is configured to latch against the lip when the ferrule is in a first position. The catch can pivot past the ferrule when the ferrule is in a second position.
