摘要

The follower (1) has a bearing point (4) comprising a pivotably movable a support relative to a surrounding structure, where the follower is made of a steel sheet. A cam counter surface (5) is provided with an indirect contact region (8) on an underside (6) of a cross-beam (2) at an end for a gas exchange valve, where side walls (3) of the follower are connected by the cross beam. A separate reinforcing strut (9) is mounted at the side walls, and rests at a height section (10) of the side walls, where the height section faces away from the cross beam.
