Abstract: An oil reservoir for a variable camshaft phaser, comprising a locking cover including a front surface including a pool, the pool having a plurality of through-bores, a rear surface including a locking pin channel, a radially inward facing surface, and a radially outward facing surface, and an oil reservoir cover secured to the front surface of the locking cover.

Abstract: A camshaft phaser including a locking clearance setting pin is provided. The camshaft phaser includes a stator including a first plurality of pin holes extending axially in at least one of the radially inwardly extending lobes arranged along an arcuate path. A locking cover engages against a first axial end face of the stator and includes a locking pin bore and a second plurality of pin holes arranged along the arcuate path and angularly spaced apart from one another by a different angular spacing than the first plurality of pin holes. A pin extends through a respective one of the first plurality of pin holes and a corresponding one of the second plurality of pin holes, such that a location of the pin sets an angular adjustment of the locking pin bore relative to the stator.

Abstract: A camshaft phaser, including: an axis of rotation; a stator including a radially outermost surface with a plurality of teeth; a locking plate including a first side facing in a first axial direction, a bore in the first side, and a through-bore; a check valve plate axially located between the locking plate and the stator and including a through-bore and a displaceable valve flap aligned, in the first axial direction, with the through-bore for the locking plate; and a bushing disposed in the bore in the first side and in the through-bore for the check valve plate. The bushing extends past the locking plate in the first axial direction.

Abstract: A wheel bearing arrangement for a vehicle, having rotatable and statically fixed components, and at least two rolling body bearings arranged radially between the rotatable and statically fixed components for rotatably mounting the rotatable component. The at least two rolling body bearings have in each case an inner ring, an outer ring, and a rolling body row arranged therebetween. A spacer sleeve is arranged at end sides of the respective inner rings for axially securing the two inner rings. A respective securing ring is arranged fixedly on the respective inner rings so as to rotate therewith. The securing rings each have a substantially axially configured lug with a respective radial embossment arranged in a respective groove configured on an outer circumferential face of the spacer sleeve, in order to connect the respective inner rings axially to the spacer sleeve via the respective securing rings.
