Actuator for valve lift control device having cam mechanism
An actuator for a valve lift control device linearly moves a control shaft to change a valve lift in accordance with an axial position of the control shaft. A first and a second rotation cam integrally rotate around a common rotation axis by transmission of torque, so that a direct acting follower, which includes a first and a contact members, linearly moves with a control shaft. The first and a second rotation cams are respectively in contact with the first and the second contact members via a first and a second contact points. The first contact point is located on the opposite side of the second contact point with respect to the rotation axis. A sum of a first rotation cam lift of the first rotation cam and a second rotation cam lift of the second rotation cam is substantially constant in a predetermined rotation angular range of the first rotation cam and the second rotation cam.
