My comment:

Some Jacobs engine brakes have actuate the rocker arm through a roller. Whether there is a roller or not is not meaningful here, the fact that it actuates the rocker arm is, hence my translation.

Dans le cas d'un double ACT, il n'y a pas de culbuteurs, le piston est actionné directement par les cames par l’intermédiaire d’un galet (roller). J’appellerais alors cette pièce « piston maitre », le galet n’ajoute pas grand-chose à l’explication du fonctionnement

My comment:

It is easy to translate when you know the context like in this case.Mostly when you have a little mechanical background.

Thanks.
