Abstract: A rocker assembly for a type III center pivot valvetrain comprises a rocker arm having a cam end, a center pivot bore, and a valve end which includes a first actuator bore and a second actuator bore. The rocker assembly further comprises a cylinder deactivation actuator arranged in the first actuator bore. The cylinder deactivation actuator comprises a hydraulically actuated latch assembly configured to selectively switch between a latched configuration and an unlatched configuration and a mechanical lash-setting sleeve distanced from a travel stop defined within the first actuator bore. The cylinder deactivation actuator further comprises a latch step disposed below the mechanical lash-setting sleeve and extending into the first actuator bore. The hydraulically actuated latch assembly is configured to selectively travel between the travel stop and the latch step when the hydraulically actuated latch assembly is in the latched configuration.

Abstract: A rocker assembly for a type III center pivot valvetrain comprises a rocker arm comprising a cam end, a center pivot bore, and a valve end. The valve end comprises a first actuator bore and a second actuator bore. A cylinder deactivation actuator is in the first actuator bore. An engine brake actuator is in the second actuator bore. The rocker assembly can be part of a valve assembly and can impart an engine braking function, a cylinder deactivation function, and a main lift function to first and second valves. It is also possible to impart an early exhaust valve opening, a main lift function, and a late exhaust valve closing to the engine braking valve.
