Abstract:
In an adjusting device for a camshaft of an internal combustion engine having a drive element which is driven by a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, an output element which drives the camshaft of the internal combustion engine, and an actuating element controlled by a brake so as to provide for a relative rotation between the drive element and output element by varying the braking torque effective on the actuating element.
Abstract:
In an operating system for a hydraulic valve clearance control element of an internal combustion engine, which includes a hydraulic fluid having a pressure that depends on the engine operating state and wherein the hydraulic clearance control element includes a pressure chamber in which a hydraulic fluid volume is maintained for adjusting the length of the hydraulic clearance control element and means for maintaining the fluid volume when, after engine shut down, the pressure of the hydraulic fluid supplied by an engine fluid pressure source drops below a certain value so as to maintain the hydraulic clearance control element at its operating length during engine shutdown, means are arranged on the hydraulic fluid supply line to the hydraulic valve clearance control element for releasing hydraulic fluid to reduce its pressure below the certain value immediately upon engine shut down to safely maintain the hydraulic clearance control elements at their operating length.
Abstract:
An arrangement for an electromagnetic valve timing gear has an armature plate which can be adjusted between two end positions and which is held in the end positions by a solenoid system having switching magnets. A spring device with a resilient element is provided on the valve tappet such that, when the solenoid system is not excited, the armature plate takes up an approximate center position between the two switching magnets. The resilient element of the spring device is arranged between two spring plates. The spring plates have an opening, in which case the valve tappet and the spring plate are arranged to be relatively displaceable. On the side of the valve plates facing away from the resilient element, one drive device respectively is provided on the valve tappet, and one path limiting device respectively is provided for the spring plates.
Abstract:
In a valve drive train device of an internal combustion engine, comprising a phase adjustment device for the adjustment of a phase position between a primary cam and a secondary cam which belong to a same category and which are arranged coaxial with one another, at least one is assigned to a pair of cams for executing a valve lift changeover so as to allow the valve drive train device to be instantly adjusted to a momentary operating situation.
Abstract:
