Täppide

Täppide, also known as "tappet" or "tappet ring," is a mechanical component used in internal combustion engines to control the timing of the intake and exhaust valves. It is a small, circular piece that fits into the valve train and is connected to the camshaft via a pushrod or rocker arm. The täppide is designed to open and close the valves at the correct times during the engine's cycle, allowing for efficient combustion and power output.

The täppide is typically made of hardened steel to withstand the high pressures and temperatures generated during engine operation. It is precision-machined to ensure accurate valve timing and minimal wear. The size and shape of the täppide can vary depending on the engine design and the specific application.

In some engines, the täppide may be replaced with a tappet roller or a hydraulic tappet, which use different mechanisms to control valve timing. However, the basic function of the täppide remains the same: to regulate the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves to optimize engine performance.

Proper maintenance of the täppide is essential for the longevity and efficiency of the engine. Regular inspection and replacement, when necessary, can help prevent engine failure and ensure smooth operation.
