Abstract
A cam shaft phaser, including: a stator including stops; a rotor rotatable with respect to the stator and including a plurality vanes extending radially outward from a body; a plurality of channels, each channel passing through a respective vane included in the plurality of vanes; and a plurality of pairs of advance and retard chambers at least partially formed by the plurality of radially inwardly extending stops and the plurality of vanes. Advance and retard chambers for each pair of advance and retard chambers are separated in a first circumferential direction by a respective vane from the plurality of vanes. Each channel connects the advance and retard chambers for said each pair of advance and retard chambers. The first plurality of channels are arranged to enable fluid flow through the first plurality of channels to displace the rotor from at least one circumferential position to a mid-lock or retard-lock position.
