Abstract
An actuator for a cam phaser, wherein the cam phaser includes a hydraulic valve that is adjustable by the actuator, wherein the actuator is receivable at a housing section by at least one form locking connection, wherein the at least one form locking connection includes a first form element pair and a second form element pair, wherein the first form element pair includes a first stop and the second form element pair includes a second stop, and wherein the first stop and the second stop are oriented in opposite directions of rotation of the actuator.
Claims12
An actuator for a cam phaser, the actuator comprising:
- at least one form locking connection,
- wherein the cam phaser includes a hydraulic valve that is adjusted by the actuator,
- wherein the actuator is received at a housing section of the hydraulic valve by the at least one form locking connection,
- wherein the at least one form locking connection includes a first locking element pair and a second locking element pair,
- wherein the first locking element pair includes a first locking element and a first stop and the second locking element pair includes a second locking element and a second stop,
- wherein the first locking element and the second locking element are each integrally formed in one piece with the actuator,
- wherein the first stop and the second stop are each integrally formed in one piece with the housing section,
- wherein the first stop and the second stop are configured to stop a rotation of the actuator in opposite directions through a direct contact of the first locking element at the first stop and a direct contact of the second locking element at the second stop,
- wherein the second locking element is movable relative to the actuator in a direction parallel to an axis of the rotation to interlock at the second stop or unlock from the second stop, and
- wherein the first locking element pair is configured as a bayonet closure and the second locking element pair is configured as a snap locking closure.
An actuator for a cam phaser, the actuator comprising:
- at least one form locking connection,
- wherein the cam phaser includes a hydraulic valve that is adjusted by the actuator,
- wherein the actuator is received at a housing section of the hydraulic valve by the at least one form locking connection,
- wherein the at least one form locking connection includes a first locking element pair and a second locking element pair,
- wherein the first locking element pair includes a first stop and the second locking element pair includes a second stop,
- wherein the first stop and the second stop are configured to stop a rotation of the actuator in opposite directions,
- wherein the actuator includes an assembly handle, and
- wherein the assembly handle is configured perpendicular to a connection socket of the actuator.
An actuator for a cam phaser, the actuator comprising:
- at least one form locking connection,
- wherein the cam phaser includes a hydraulic valve that is adjusted by the actuator,
- wherein the actuator is received at a housing section of the hydraulic valve by the at least one form locking connection,
- wherein the at least one form locking connection includes a first locking element pair and a second locking element pair,
- wherein the first locking element pair includes a first stop and the second locking element pair includes a second stop, and
- wherein the first stop and the second stop are configured to stop a rotation of the actuator in opposite directions,
- wherein the actuator includes an assembly handle, and
- wherein the assembly handle is configured gap free with a carrier element configured on the actuator adjacent to the assembly handle.
