摘要： A device for changing the control times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine, including a drive wheel in driving connection with a crankshaft and a vane wheel connected to rotate with a camshaft. A plurality of hydraulic working spaces are formed within the device and are divided by the vanes of the vane wheel into respectively A and B pressure chambers. The vane wheel can be mechanically coupled to the drive wheel by a locking element, which is displaceable by a spring element into a locking position within a seat in one of the sidewalls of the drive wheel, and is hydraulically moved into an unlocked position in the vane wheel upon application of pressure to the pressure chambers. The locking element is a generally uniform cylindrical locking pin, and is arranged in an axial bore in the hub of the vane wheel. The longitudinal axis of the axial bore has a smallest possible distance from the longitudinal mid-axis of the device. The seat has a generally quadrilateral shaped contour that is larger by a play on all sides than the cross sectional area of the locking element, and includes a worm groove opening into it for supplying pressure medium.

摘要： A method for determining a wear value of a transmission element between a crankshaft and a camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, in particular a timing chain or toothed belt, is provided. The camshaft is driven by the transmission element via a drive part, for example a camshaft gearwheel. In each case, at least one measurement value for the phase position of the drive part relative to the crankshaft is determined at time intervals during which the crankshaft drives the camshaft, and the wear value is determined from the difference between the measurement values.

摘要： A camshaft adjuster (1) having a variable ratio gear unit (2). Usually, a drive movement of an electrical actuating assembly (7) is transmitted into a variable ratio gear unit (2) of a camshaft adjuster (1) on the side which faces away from the camshaft (6). According to the invention, the abovementioned drive movement is transmitted in from the side of the variable ratio gear unit (2) which faces the camshaft (6). As a result, a further assembly, for example a vacuum pump, can be driven by the variable ratio gear unit (2) on the side of the variable ratio gear unit (2) which has become free and faces away from the camshaft (6). An actuating shaft (4) of the actuating assembly (7) is preferably mounted via a bearing (34) which is supported on a circumferential face of the camshaft (6). This results in a reduced axial overall size of the camshaft adjuster and extended possibilities for the arrangement of an actuating assembly and the connection of additional assemblies.

摘要： A camshaft adjuster including an electric servo motor (21) that is mounted in a first housing (14) and an electronics module (37), which supplies the servo motor (21) with electricity is provided. A second housing (26), which is separate from the first housing (14), is allocated to the electronics module and is attached by its exterior to the first housing (14). A wall (29) of the second housing (26) separates the servo motor (21) and the electronics module (37) to be mounted separately. A power supply and a logic element are integrated into the electronics module, allowing the camshaft adjuster to be operated as an autonomous unit.
