Timing setting device

Abstract

Abstract To obtain a structurally simple and compact construction, a device for setting the timing in a timing mechanism of an internal combustion engine, having a gear wheel (12), which is driven by the crankshaft and is arranged on a camshaft (10) for the actuation of the intake and exhaust valves, the camshaft being adjustable over a limited angle of rotation relative to the gear wheel by means of an actuating element, has as the actuating element a switchable freewheel (54) which is arranged kinematically between the gear wheel and the camshaft and, on the basis of the pulsating torques of the camshaft, makes possible an adjustment within an angle of rotation defined by stops (22). <IMAGE>
