Diesel Engine Rocker Lever

About Diesel Engine Rocker Lever

A diesel engine rocker lever, also known as a rocker arm, is a crucial component in the engine's valvetrain system. It serves as the mechanical link between the camshaft and the intake/exhaust valves. When the camshaft rotates, it pushes on the tappet or pushrod, which then moves the rocker lever. This motion causes the lever to pivot, opening and closing the engine valves at precise times for optimal combustion and exhaust processes. Rocker levers are typically made from high-strength materials such as forged steel or aluminum alloy to withstand the stress and heat within the engine. They are commonly found in heavy-duty diesel engines used in trucks, construction equipment, marine engines, and generators.
