A control time adjusting device which adjusts the phase position of a camshaft with respect to an upstream drivetrain that drives the camshaft. The device has a hub element and a bell element which is coupled to the hub element in a variably adjustable manner with regard to the rotary phase position. The adjusting angle range is defined by stop structures. Additionally, adjusting cells, which are separated by radial webs and vane elements, are situated in an intermediate space between the hub element and bell element. The position and the peripheral length of the device, which is definitive for the pivoting travel of the adjusting cells and the arrangement of the vane elements with respect to one another, are adapted such that at least two different-sized adjusting angle ranges can be defined as a function of the assignment of the vane elements to the adjusting cells.

Control time adjusting device

An arrangement for controlling a device for changing the control times of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine is provided. The device includes a hydraulic pressure cylinder with an axially movable piston the setting motions of which are transformed into relative rotation of a drive part of the pressure cylinder connected to the crankshaft in relation to a drive part of the pressure cylinder connected to the camshaft. the hydraulic pressure cylinder is subdivided by the piston into two pressure chambers (3, 4), with each being provided with a pressure medium connection (5, 6) to which a hydraulic pump (7) is connected upstream and a pressure medium reservoir (8) is connected downstream, and whose pressure medium inflow or pressure medium outflow is controlled by a hydraulic valve arrangement controlled by a motor controller (9).
