Abstract
In a camshaft unit, particularly of an internal combustion engine, comprising a camshaft connected to a drive unit to be driven thereby, a phase displacement unit including an actuating gear and a control unit with a rotor and a stator unit in the form of a brake element for adjusting a phase relation between the drive unit and the camshaft, and a bearing device for supporting part of the control unit, the bearing device is designed to accommodate radial tolerances between the stator element and the rotor element.
Claims12
A camshaft adjusting unit, in particular of an internal combustion engine, comprising a camshaft (11) connected to a drive unit (10) to be driven thereby, a phase displacement unit (12) including an actuating. gear structure (13) and a control unit (14) with a stator element (15) and a rotor element (16) for adjusting a phase relation between the drive unit (10) and the camshaft (11), and a bearing device (17) for supporting the rotor element (16) of the control unit (14) on the camshaft (11), the stator element (15) and the rotor element (16) being arranged relative to each other in a bearing-free manner so as to tolerate radial displacement between the stator element (15) and the rotor element (16).
