<p>A timing variator is disclosed which is constructed to provide at least three predetermined different relative angular settings of the camshaft and the timing system of an internal combustion engine; the variator comprises a piston actuator slidable inside a space against a spring as a pressurized fluid is delivered into a supply chamber thereof. When the piston is to be stopped at a position intermediate to two end-of-stroke positions, in order to obtain an intermediate timing setting, pressurized fluid is delivered behind the piston, thereby producing an additional thrust concurrent with the spring thrust and partly balancing out the pressure of the medium being delivered into the supply chamber. <IMAGE></p> |
