  • Patent number: 11168590
    Abstract: A sleeve for a cam phaser, wherein the sleeve is arranged between a central valve and a rotor of the cam phaser, wherein the rotor is rotatable relative to a stator of the cam phaser about a rotation axis of the rotor, wherein a vane of the rotor is arranged positionable between two bars of the stator, wherein the vane divides an intermediary space that is formed between the two bars into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber, wherein the rotor is movable by pressures that are provided in the first pressure chamber and in the second pressure chamber, wherein the central valve is configured to provide pressure loading and pressure relief of the first pressure chamber and the second pressure chamber.

  • Patent number: 10487700
    Abstract: A cam phaser for a cam shaft arrangement including an inner cam shaft and an outer cam shaft arranged concentrical relative to the inner cam shaft, the cam phaser including at least one rotor; at least one stator; and at least one compensation element configured to compensate axial and/or radial and/or angular tolerances, wherein the stator is connectable torque proof at least indirectly through a drive gear with the outer cam shaft and the rotor is connectable torque proof with the inner cam shaft, wherein the drive gear is separate from the stator and attachable torque proof at the outer cam shaft, wherein the stator is rotatably supportable on the inner cam shaft, wherein plural compensation elements are provided which are arranged evenly distributed in a circumferential direction, wherein the compensation elements are configured torsion stiff in the circumferential direction and attached between the stator and the drive gear.
