English term or phrase: flat tappet
The primary goal of any camshaft though is to assist the opening and subsequent closing of the valves in the shortest space of time, to ensure the greatest flow of air into the engine in the time available.'' In direct-acting tappet designs the velocity of the valve is limited by the diameter of the rotating follower, while the acceleration is limited by the forces in the system and ultimately the strength of the spring with which to slow the valve down again as it reaches full lift.

Panowie czy istnieje u nas odpowiednik tego rodzaju popychacza hydraulicznego jeżeli chodzi o nazewnictwo ?

Reference: Lifters, also called a follower, or tappet

Reference information:
tappet in British.

a mechanical part that reciprocates to receive or transmit intermittent motion, esp the part of an internal-combustion engine that transmits motion from the camshaft to the push rods or valves

-

tappet in American.

a sliding rod in an engine or machine moved by intermittent contact with a cam and used to move another part, as a valve

Flat Tappet vs. Roller Camshafts

Camshafts are classified by the type of lifter they use. The lobes on the cam are machined differently based on the intended lifter. Lifters, also called a follower, or tappet, contact the cam lobe with either a flat surface or a wheel.

Flat Tappet
In reality, flat tappet lifters are not flat. They actually have a slight crown on the face. The camshaft lobe is machined with a slight taper. This causes the lifter to spin as it rides on the lobe and helps ensure even wear on the two surfaces
.

Rollers
Lifters for roller cams feature a wheel, supported by needle bearings and an axle, attached to the bottom of the lifter body. The lobes of roller camshafts are machined perfectly flat. Roller lifters are also linked together to prevent them from spinning.
