Abstract
A column type hydraulic tappet includes a housing; a plunger correspondingly installed in the housing; and a high pressure chamber for a hydraulic medium formed between the bottom face of the plunger and the bottom of the housing and is sealed by a check valve opening toward the high pressure chamber. The housing includes an external circumferential groove on the outer diameter for passing the hydraulic medium and an inner circumferential groove on the inner diameter for passing the hydraulic medium. One or more housing oil holes are disposed between the outer circumferential groove and the inner circumferential groove. The plunger includes a sealed hemisphere head portion, a shaft portion and a body portion. An indent neck portion between the head and shaft portions of the plunger has a wall thickness 105%-120% of the wall thickness of the other portions of the plunger.
