Abstract: An electric phaser for dynamically adjusting a rotational relationship of a camshaft with respect to an engine crankshaft of an internal combustion engine includes an electric motor and a tapered roller drive. The tapered roller drive includes a sun, rollers, a carrier, at least one ring, and at least one load generator providing an axial load. The rollers are maintained in rolling engagement with the sun and the ring without the use of teeth. In some embodiments, the tapered roller drive is based on a fixed-sun design. In other embodiments, the tapered roller drive is based on a split ring design.

Abstract: A valve assembly selectively varies the timing of the valves in an internal combustion engine cycle by way of a first and second camshaft. Each valve has a shuttle portion and a valve portion. Upper and lower cam followers on the shuttle portion engage with first and second cams on each of the first and second camshafts to move the valve between an open and closed position with reference to a valve seat on an engine block.

Abstract: A camshaft phaser, including: a stator to receive rotational torque from an engine and including a radially inwardly facing surface and a slot in the radially inwardly facing surface; a rotor to non-rotatably connect to a camshaft, to be connected to an electric motor and including a first radially outwardly extending protrusion; and a spring non-rotatably connected to the stator and including a first portion disposed in the slot. The electric motor is arranged to rotate the rotor with respect to the stator. In a first circumferential position of the rotor with respect to the stator: no portion of the spring is disposed in the indent; and a second portion of the spring extends radially inwardly past the radially inwardly facing surface. In a second circumferential position of the rotor with respect to the stator, the second portion of the spring is disposed in the indent.

Abstract: A cam phaser (30, 130, 230) dynamically adjusts a rotational relationship of a camshaft (32) of an internal combustion engine with respect to an engine crankshaft operably connected with a phaser sprocket (42, 142, 242). The cam phaser (30, 130, 230) can include a planetary gear assembly having a ring gear (34, 134, 234) driven by the phaser sprocket (42, 142, 242), a planetary gear carrier (36, 136, 236) connected to the camshaft (32), a sun gear (38, 138, 238), and at least one rotatable planetary gear (40, 140, 240). The cam phaser (30, 130, 230) can include a sprocket housing (44, 144, 244) connected with the phaser sprocket (42, 142, 242) and operable for connection with the ring gear (34, 134, 234), a cover plate (46, 146, 246) secured to the carrier (36, 136, 236), and a adapter (48) connected between the sun gear (38, 138, 238) and an electric motor (47) for changing an angular position of the sun gear (38, 138, 238) and adjustably varying a cam phase position of the camshaft (32) relative to the crankshaft.

Abstract: A continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) control device is provided. The CVVT control device includes an engine controlling unit (ECU) configured to output an actual phase angle and a target phase angle of an intake valve or an exhaust valve. The CVVT control device further includes an intellectual motor controller configured to receive the actual phase angle and the target phase angle from the ECU through digital communication in a vehicle. A driving current is generated for adjusting an output torque of a motor based on a phase deviation between the received actual phase angle and target phase angle.

Abstract: A method for operating a camshaft adjuster, which includes an adjusting transmission with an input shaft, an output shaft connected in a non-rotatable manner with a camshaft, and an adjusting shaft, whereby the adjusting shaft is driven by an actuator, characterized by the fact that the actuator drives the adjusting shaft by overcoming a torque that is dependent on its angular position.

Abstract: A planetary rotor includes: a planetary gear engaged with a driving rotor and a driven rotor on an eccentric side; and a single sequence type planetary bearing having an outer ring held by the planetary gear, an inner ring supported by a planetary carrier in the radial direction and receiving a restoring force from an elastic component, and a plurality of spherical rolling elements interposed between the outer ring and the inner ring. The outer ring is arranged to form a rolling contact part in contact with the spherical rolling element on the eccentric side, with a contact angle to a specific side in the axial direction. A thrust-bearing part where the driving rotor is supported by the driven rotor on the specific side and on the eccentric side is located closer to a rotation center line of the driven rotor than the rolling contact part is.

Abstract: A camshaft phaser, including: an input component arranged to receive torque from an engine; an advance hub; an advance wedge plate radially disposed between the input component and the advance hub; and an actuation assembly including an advance pin arranged to be disposed in an advance channel for a camshaft and an actuator pin. For an advance mode: the actuator pin is arranged to radially displace the advance pin into non-rotatable connection with the advance hub; the advance hub is arranged to rotate, with respect to the input component, in a first circumferential direction; and the advance wedge plate is arranged to block rotation of the advance hub, with respect to the input component, in a second circumferential direction, opposite the first circumferential direction.

Abstract: A camshaft phaser, including: a gear to receive torque; a housing non-rotatably connected to the gear; and a phase adjustment assembly. The phase adjustment assembly includes: first and second frusto-conical shaped surfaces arranged to non-rotatably connect to a camshaft; third and fourth frusto-conical shaped surfaces; and a displacement assembly. The displacement assembly is arranged to: for an advance mode, displace the first frusto-conical surface in the first axial direction to non-rotatably connect the first and third frusto-conical surfaces and so that the second frusto-conical surface is rotatable with respect to the fourth frusto-conical surface in a first circumferential direction; and for a retard mode, displace the second frusto-conical surface in the second axial direction to non-rotatably connect the second and fourth frusto-conical surfaces and so that the first frusto-conical surface is rotatable with respect to the third frusto-conical surface in a second circumferential direction, opposite the first circumferential direction.
