ADJUSTING DEVICE FOR A CAMSHAFT OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

The invention relates to an adjusting device (1) for a camshaft (2) of an internal combustion engine, comprising a drive element (3) driven by a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, a drive element (4) driving the camshaft (2) of the internal combustion engine, and an actuating element (5) that is impinged upon by a brake (6). A relative rotation between the drive element (3) and the output element (4) can be achieved by varying the brake torque on the actuating element (5). The aim of the invention is to provide an adjusting device for a camshaft of an internal combustion engine that can be produced in an inexpensive and simple manner and that can be used in any area of application. For this purpose, the adjusting device (1) is designed so as to allow for any phase angle between the drive element (3) and the output element (4).
