Abstract
A camshaft phaser assembly is disclosed. A trigger wheel is provided that includes a position indicator and a first toothing. An input gear includes a second toothing. An output gear is adapted to drive a camshaft, and defines a third toothing. The first toothing and the third toothing have an identical profile. A connection assembly includes a fourth toothing engaged with the first toothing, the second toothing, and the third toothing, such that an input provided by the input gear is transmitted to both the output gear and the trigger wheel, and the trigger wheel and the output gear are driven in unison. A method of detecting a position of a camshaft based on a trigger wheel is also disclosed.
