Abstract
A camshaft phase adjuster having a vane construction that optimizes one or more of the seal contact pressure, wear properties, and/or the distribution of forces acting on the vane that are transmitted to the rotor. Vane configurations include vanes with non-parallel sides at the actuation end as well as a core and over-molded cover configuration. This provides enhanced wear properties and/or allows the use of lower strength materials for the vane which reduces costs.
