Abstract
The invention concerns a device for varying the valve timing of gas exchange valves of an internal combustion engine, said device being arranged in the region of the cylinder head (1) of the internal combustion engine on a camshaft (3) and comprising an element (6) which is attached to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and is in driving relationship with the crankshaft through a traction element, said device further comprising an element (7) attached rotationally fast to the camshaft (3), both of said elements (6, 7) being adapted to rotate and to be fixed relative to each other between two end positions in response to an adjusting element which is hydraulically actuatable by a solenoid control valve (25). According to the invention there are fixed in axial direction of the camshaft (3), on a camshaft-remote end of the element (7) attached to the camshaft, firstly a cylindrical pressure medium adapter (10) for pressure medium supply to the device (5) and secondly, a pulse emitter wheel (19) for determining the camshaft position relative to the crankshaft position, the pressure medium adapter (10) being sealingly surrounded by a hollow cylindrical portion (22) and the pulse emitter wheel (19) being surrounded by a further hollow space (23) formed adjacent to the hollow cylindrical housing portion (22) by a housing cap (21) which is fixed on the cylinder head (1) of the internal combustion engine and in which there are also received the control valve (25) for actuating the adjusting element of the device (5) as well as the necessary pressure medium channels (26, 27) and a pulse reading device (20) which cooperates with the pulse emitter wheel (19).
