Abstract:
In a cam element for a valve drive train device of an internal combustion engine having at least one cam comprising at least two partial cams which are arranged next to one another and have a shared base circle phase in at least one angular camshaft range for valve lift switching by displacing their axial position with respect to a cam follower from one of the partial cams to another of the partial cams, the partial cams are angularly displaced in an axially overlapping arrangement. Also, between adjacent partial cams, a circular undercut is formed which has a center that is slightly offset from the rotational axis of the cam element so as to facilitate a switch over of valve actuation from one to another of the adjacent partial cams.
Abstract:
An adjusting device, in particular for adjustment of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, is disclosed. The adjusting device includes a brake unit which has at least one brake disc and at least one electromagnet for actuating the brake unit. The electromagnet has a yoke and an armature formed separately from the brake disc, where the brake disc is disposed at least partially spatially between the yoke and the armature of the electromagnet.
Abstract:
In a camshaft adjusting device of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine which has an electromagnetic braking unit that includes a stationary actuator having a first braking surface and an axially spaced second braking surface which is movable relative to the first braking surface, the braking unit further includes a brake disk which is functionally separate from the stationary actuator and is at least partially situated between the spaced braking surfaces of the actuator and connected to an adjusting input of the camshaft adjusting device.
