Abstract

A module of a variable valve drive of an internal combustion engine is proposed that includes a push rod mounted longitudinally in a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. The push rod is actuated by a linear actuator that includes an armature that makes contact, at least indirectly with the push rod, to displace it in a first longitudinal direction. A switchable rocker arm with a coupling slide arranged transversely to a longitudinal extent or side of the rocker arm corresponds to an actuating finger that extends from the push rod. The coupling slide includes a slide part that projects laterally from the rocker arm and can be acted upon by a free end of the actuating finger. Kinetic energy of the push rod is dissipated or converted at least partially via a separate damper in the first longitudinal direction before it reaches a final position.
