  • Patent number: 8794201
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for mounting a friction disc on a rotor. The friction disc is reduced in diameter by means of a pair of pliers. The friction disc has an inner ring part and an outer ring part joined together by means of crossarms. The friction disc is inserted with reduced diameter into a depression of the rotor by sliding the inner ring part axially with respect to the outer ring part. The tension on the pair of pliers is relieved to allow the diameter of the friction disc to expand in the depression of the rotor. The friction disc can then be secured in the rotor by means of a central screw.

  • Patent number: 8453616
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vane-type motor cam phaser with a rotor and a camshaft. Between this rotor and the camshaft, a friction disc is braced axially by means of a central screw. Accordingly, this friction disc transmits a drive torque in a frictionally engaged manner. For pivoting the rotor in two oppositely lying directions of rotation, at least two oil channels (A, B) run through the camshaft and a hub of the rotor. At least the one oil channel (A or B) is sealed hydraulically radially inward by an inner ring part of the friction disc and radially outward by an outer ring part of the friction disc. The inner ring part and the outer ring part are joined to each other by means of a crossarm.

  • Patent number: 7640902
    Abstract: A camshaft adjuster which operates according to the vane-type motor principle, which means being able to move to and fro within a certain angle, generally comprises a stator and a rotor. The rotor itself is provided as a composite system of at least two components. One of the components is a cover. A further component of the composite system may be denoted as the rotor core. The cover is placed on the rotor.

  • Patent number: 7497193
    Abstract: The present invention describes a new rotor and a corresponding method of manufacture for a rotor according to the invention in which a sleeve as a structural component takes over oil guidance functions in addition to locking pin bearing functions, wherein the sleeve can be inserted in a vane of the rotor flush with the surface by means of a press fit.
