CAM FOLLOWER, INJECTION PUMP AND VALVE ACTUATOR COMPRISING SUCH A CAM FOLLOWER, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD

摘要

The invention concerns a cam follower (1), comprising: a tappet (10) having a cylindrical outer surface (14) centered on a longitudinal axis (Y1) and adapted to slide in a housing (2) surrounding the tappet (10), a pin extending between two opposite ends along a transverse axis (X1) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (Y1), a roller element movable in rotation relative to the pin around the transverse axis (X1) and adapted to roll on a cam, and an antirotation member (80) for preventing a rotation of the tappet (10) around the longitudinal axis (Y1) in the housing (2). According to the invention, the antirotation member (80) is overmoulded onto the tappet (10), or the tappet (10) is overmolded onto the antirotation member (80). The invention also concerns an injection pump and a valve actuator for a motor vehicle, each comprising such a cam follower (1). The invention also concerns a method for manufacturing such a cam follower (1).
