A cam phaser including an electromagnetically actuated hydraulic valve; and a hollow piston inserted in a borehole and longitudinally movable by an electromagnet so that a hydraulic fluid is distributed to operating connections associated with pressure cavities of the cam phaser, wherein a first operating connection branches off from a borehole directly adjacent to the electromagnet, wherein the hollow piston includes a circumferential bar with a control edge oriented towards the electromagnet so that a cavity within the borehole is defined on one side by the circumferential bar and on another side by the electromagnet, wherein a drain opening extends from the cavity, wherein the drain opening hydraulically connects the cavity with a drain channel leading towards a tank drain, wherein the bar is movable into a direction expanding the first operating connection in the flow cross section by a force of the electromagnet that is loaded with electrical current.

Cam phaser with electromagnetically actuated hydraulic valve

A hydraulic valve for a cam phaser including a valve housing with a longitudinal axis and a valve piston that is axially moveable along the longitudinal axis, wherein the valve piston opens and closes a first operating connection of the valve housing and a second operating connection of the valve housing, wherein the first operating connection and the second operating connection are axially offset from one another; and a supply connection of the valve housing which is used for supplying the hydraulic valve with a hydraulic fluid fed by a feed device, wherein the hydraulic valve is configured to be flowed through by the hydraulic fluid on different paths controlled by a flow permeable channel system of the valve piston, and wherein a check valve opening and closing an inflow channel is arranged in the hydraulic valve in the inflow channel of the valve housing.
