A four-stroke power valve is a device fitted to four-stroke engines that constantly adjusts the internal diameter of the exhaust system to better suit the speed of the engine. Yamaha was the first to develop such a system, called the Exhaust Ultimate Power Valve (EXUP). [1] It first appeared on the Yamaha FZR EXUP and was later used on many ...
Feeler gauge set (25 pieces, 0.03~1.0 mm measurement range) Measuring the valve clearance of a DOHC engine, between camshaft and tappet (here: 0.004 in ≈ 0.10 mm). A feeler gauge is a tool used to measure gap widths. Feeler gauges are mostly used in engineering to measure the clearance between two parts. [1]
A stroke is the action of a piston travelling the full length of its cylinder.In a two-stroke engine, one of the two strokes combines primarily the intake stroke and the combustion stroke, while the other stroke primarily combines the compression stroke and the exhaust stroke, though technically since both ports are exposed during both the combustion and compression strokes, some reversion ...
A tappet or valve lifter is a valve train component which converts rotational motion into linear motion in activating a valve. It is most commonly found in internal combustion engines , where it converts the rotational motion of the camshaft into linear motion of intake and exhaust valves, either directly or indirectly.
"Cutaway of Yamaha Genesis inline-four 20-valve engine" The DOHC Genesis engine has five valves per cylinder and downdraft carburetors. Yamaha adopted the 5-valve concept, using three intake valves and two exhaust valves per cylinder, because it allowed both excellent volumetric efficiency and high RPM. As designers began to appreciate the ...
A hydraulic tappet, also known as a hydraulic valve lifter or hydraulic lash adjuster, is a device for maintaining zero valve clearance in an internal combustion engine. Conventional solid valve lifters require regular adjusting to maintain a small clearance between the valve and its rocker or cam follower .
The valve timing of a diesel engine also depends on tappet clearance of the inlet and exhaust valves. If tappet clearance is less, then valve will open early and close late. [2] If tappet clearance is more, then valve will open late and close early. Tappet clearance is measured by an instrument called feeler gauge.
Leakage in narrow clearance, spool valve. Hydraulic clearance. Flow in narrow clearances are of vital importance in hydraulic system component design. The flow in a narrow circular clearance of a spool valve can be calculated according to the formula below if the height is negligible compared to the width of the clearance, such as most of the clearances in hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors ...
