Rocker arm. A rocker arm (in the context of an internal combustion engine of automotive, marine, motorcycle and reciprocating aviation types) is an oscillating lever that conveys radial movement from the cam lobe into linear movement at the poppet valve to open it.hen the camshaft lobe raises the outside of the arm, the inside presses down on the valve stem, opening the valve. When the outside of the arm is permitted to return due to the camshafts rotation, the inside rises, allowing the valve spring to close the valve.
Rocker Ratio Rocker Arm Ratio is the length of the valve side of the rocker arm to the center (or pivot point) of the rocker arm divided by the length of the Cam or Pushrod side to the center of the rocker arm.ypically the valve side is longer than the pushrod or cam side, so the Rocker Arm will multiply its motion by its Rocker Ratio. This ratio is typically in the range of 1.45 to 1.7, meaning that for each .100 of pushrod or cam motion you would get .145 to .170 of valve motion. Rocker Ratio.
