    Abstract: A synchronous drive apparatus and method, wherein the apparatus comprises a plurality of rotors comprising at least a first and a second rotor. The first rotor has a plurality of teeth for engaging the engaging sections of an elongate drive structure, and the second rotor has a plurality of teeth for engaging the engaging section of the elongate drive structure. A rotary load assembly is coupled to the second rotor. The elongate drive structure engages about the first and second rotors. The first rotor is arranged to drive the elongate drive structure and the second rotor is arranged to be driven by the elongate drive structure. One of the rotors has a non-circular profile having at least two protruding portions alternating with receding portions. The rotary load assembly is such as to present a periodic fluctuating load torque when driven in rotation, in which the angular positions of the protruding and receding portions of the non-circular profile relative to the angular position of the second rotor, and the magnitude of the eccentricity of the non-circular profile, are such that the non-circular profile applies to the second rotor an opposing fluctuating corrective torque which reduces or substantially cancels the fluctuating load torque of the rotary load assembly.

    Abstract: A variable valve timing control apparatus employs a five-blade vane member fixedly connected to a camshaft end and rotatably disposed in a phase-converter housing formed integral with a sprocket driven by an engine crankshaft. Five phase-retard chambers and five phase-advance chambers are defined by five blades of the vane member and the housing, for creating a phase change of the vane member relative to the housing. A circumferential width of each of a first pair of blades, located on both sides of a first blade having a maximum circumferential width, is dimensioned to be less than a circumferential width of each of a second pair of blades, circumferentially spaced apart from the first blade rather than the first pair. The circumferential width of each of the second pair of blades is dimensioned to be less than the maximum circumferential width of the first blade.

    Abstract: A ring filter comprises a frame and a filter section. The frame comprises at least two first frame elements. One of the first frame elements is arranged on the axial front faces of the filter section and is fixedly connected thereto. The filter section extends in the axial direction between the two first frame elements. The filter section has a shape deviating from a straight line, as seen in longitudinal section. This significantly increases the effective filter surface and reduces throughflow resistance and the risk of the ring filter becoming clogged.

    Abstract: A device (1) for changing the timing of an internal-combustion engine (2) is provided that has a camshaft adjuster (5), which is supported on a non-rotating bearing journal (6). A driving wheel (8) of the camshaft adjuster (5) is driven by a crank-shaft (3) via a first traction mechanism drive (7). The rotation of the driving wheel (8) is transferred via an actuator (10) to a driven part (9), which is arranged so that it can rotate relative to the driving wheel (8). Second and third traction mechanism drives (11, 12) create a drive connection between the driven part (9) and two camshafts (4, 4a).
