Abstract: A camshaft adjuster (2) having a locking cover (1) formed of sheet metal, wherein the locking cover (1) has a substantially disc-shaped base surface (3) and has a collar (7), which extends in an axial direction (5) and which runs at least partially around the base surface (3), for receiving a spring cover (31). As a result of the production of the locking cover (1) from sheet metal in combination with a turned-up collar (7), the locking cover (1) can be produced simply and cost-effectively and nevertheless offers adequately high strength despite the low material thickness.

Abstract: A rotor (10), in particular for a camshaft adjuster, comprises a rotor base body (8) that comprises a hub part having a central oil inlet (14). In addition, at least one vane (18) arranged in a radial manner on the hub part (12) and also oil channels (16) that extend through the hub part (12) on both sides of each vane (18) and are connected to the central oil inlet (14) in such a manner as to allow the flow of oil are provided in the hub part (12). The process of manufacturing the rotor base body (8) is considerably simplified as the rotor base body (8) is divided along a dividing plane (T), so that it comprises two base body parts (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to a damper for damping a rotational or linear movement of a component, preferably a component moveably mounted in the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, having a damper housing, characterized in that at least one illumination source and/or at least one sensor, as well as an electrical connecting device for connecting the illumination source or the sensor to an electrical supply, are integrated into the damper housing.

Abstract: A device (11) for variably adjusting the control times of gas exchange valves (9, 10) of an internal combustion engine (1), including an input drive element (14), an output drive element (15), and at least one side cover (16), wherein the input drive element (14) can be brought into driven connection with a crankshaft (2) of the internal combustion engine (1), the output drive element (15) can be brought into driving connection with a camshaft (6, 7) of the internal combustion engine (1) and is pivotally mounted relative to the input drive element (14). The side cover (16) is mounted on an axial side surface of the output drive element (15) or of the input drive element (14) and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the input drive element (14) or the output drive element (15).

Abstract: An apparatus for variably setting the control times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine which has at least one first screw with a threaded section, an action section for an assembly tool and a fastening section arranged on a side of the action section which faces away from the threaded section and acted on by a spring element. As a result of the first screw, a turning operation is omitted during the mounting of the apparatus, and insertion of the spring element on the screw head side is produced without further connecting points or elements.

Abstract: A rotary piston adjuster for an internal combustion engine that includes an outer rotor which can be drive-connected to a crankshaft, an inner rotor which can be connected to a camshaft, and a torsion spring which is connected to the outer and inner rotors. The rotors can be adjusted rotationally about a common rotational axis, and a rotary angle position of the inner rotor with respect to the outer rotor can be adjusted by means of a hydraulic actuating mechanism. The torsion spring is connected by way of a hook-shaped first end section to a first connecting element which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the inner rotor. A pair of first supporting elements are connected to the inner rotor for supporting the torsion spring, which first supporting elements are arranged at an angular spacing in a range from 90° to 270° from the first connecting element.
