Patent number: 8869761Abstract: A camshaft adjuster (2) having a vane-type design with a stator (4) and a rotor (6), which can be rotated relative to the stator (4), and at least two pressure chambers (8a, 8b) formed between the stator (4) and the rotor (6). The pressure chambers (8a, 8b) are separated from each other by a radially oriented vane (12) of the rotor (6), wherein the pressure chambers (8a, 8b) can be alternately supplied with a pressure medium. The vane (12) has a radial face (20) and two lateral faces (20) that are directed toward the pressure chambers (8a, 8b). The radial face (20) is sealed by a U-shaped sealing element (26) having a main limb (30) and two side limbs (32) seated against the lateral faces (22). The pressure chambers (8a, 8b) of the camshaft adjuster (2) are sealed particularly reliably by designing check valves (28) on the side limbs (32) of the sealing element (26) and by designing, on the lateral faces (22) of the vane (12), outlets for the pressure medium with which the check valves (28) are associated.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8302573Abstract: A hydraulic camshaft adjuster for an internal combustion engine. The hydraulic camshaft adjuster has a drive part that can be drive-connected to a crankshaft, an output part which has a central, first axial opening for the rotatably fixed connection to a first camshaft and is mounted such that it can be adjusted rotatably with respect to the drive part, a hydraulic actuating mechanism, by which a rotary angle position between the drive part and the output part can be adjusted, and a screw plug which is screwed to the drive part for closing the first axial opening. The screw plug is manufactured from a shaped part which is produced by a forming process without the removal of material.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2010Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.
