  • Publication number: 20210140349
    Abstract: A camshaft arrangement includes an adjustable camshaft and an adjuster for adjusting the camshaft. The adjustable camshaft includes an outer shaft and an inner shaft arranged rotatably in the outer shaft. The adjuster includes a stator connected with the outer shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, and a rotor connected in a rotationally fixed inner with the inner shaft via an axially inserted coupling. A bush is connected with the rotor in a rotationally fixed manner and has at least one channel for supplying a lubricant. The bush has on a face side that axially faces the inner shaft a form that together with a counter-form on the inner shaft provides the axially inserted coupling.

  • Patent number: 9027598
    Abstract: A steplessly adjustable hydraulic insert valve has a housing defining a radial direction and an end side in an installation direction. An inflow connector on the end side is connectable to a pressure medium source. First and second working connectors and a return connector are arranged in the radial direction. The return connector is connectable to a pressure medium tank. The housing has an axial bore and an actuator guided movably therein. The actuator can be held in an axial center position by at least one spring and is adjustable steplessly axially out of the center position by controllable actuation. At least one of the working connectors is fluidically connectable to the return connector by axial adjustment of the actuator. The actuator has a radial widened portion with first and second control edges for steplessly opening and/or closing first and second radial openings, respectively, of the return connector.

  • Publication number: 20140291563
    Abstract: An actuating device for a control body of a valve includes an armature guide configured to receive a magnetic armature and an armature plunger in such a manner that the magnetic armature and armature plunger can move in relation to a longitudinal direction. An outer thread is located on a longitudinal end of the armature guide that is remote from the armature plunger. The outer thread includes a first cross-sectional profile forming a thread tip that points towards an exterior. A holding nut having an inner thread is screwed onto the outer thread of the armature guide and lies at least indirectly on the synthetic material casing of the electrical coil. The inner thread includes a second cross-sectional profile that is complementary to the first cross-sectional profile, and a thread base configured in a clamping region in a gap free manner with respect to the first cross-sectional profile.

  • Patent number: 8505582
    Abstract: A hydraulic valve for oscillating-motor camshaft adjuster is provided. The valve has a bush and a hollow piston with a piston bottom. The piston is axially movable within the bush by means of an actuator against the force of a screw-type pressure spring. The actuator is applied to the piston bottom. A sleeve secured in the bush is disposed inside the hollow piston and can be displaced relative to the piston. The wall of this sleeve has at least one through-opening, which leads to at least one opening of the hollow piston, which opening can guide a supply pressure (P) applied inside the sleeve alternatively to two sets of pressure chambers of the oscillating-motor camshaft adjuster. The sleeve has a sleeve bottom that seals off the inside space of hollow piston.
