Szeleptüskébe

Szeleptüskébe is a Hungarian term that translates to "valve pin" or "valve spindle" in English. It refers to a component found in various types of valves, particularly those used in internal combustion engines, such as intake and exhaust valves. The szeleptüske is a slender, rod-like part that is integral to the valve's mechanism.

Its primary function is to guide the valve as it opens and closes within the valve guide, ensuring smooth and precise movement. The szeleptüske is typically made of durable materials like steel alloys to withstand the high temperatures and pressures experienced within an engine cylinder. It often features a precisely machined surface to minimize friction and wear.

The szeleptüske connects to the valve head at one end and interfaces with the valve train mechanism (e.g., camshaft, rocker arm, or tappet) at the other. This connection allows the valve train to transmit the necessary motion to operate the valve, controlling the flow of fuel-air mixture into the cylinder and exhaust gases out of it. Wear or damage to the szeleptüske can lead to poor engine performance, oil consumption, and potential engine damage. Regular maintenance and inspection are crucial for ensuring the longevity and proper functioning of this critical component.
