Abstract
An arrangement is provided for relative angle-of-rotation adjustment of a camshaft of an internal-combustion engine with respect to a driving wheel. An interior part, non-rotatably connected with the camshaft, has at least approximately radially extending webs or vanes. A driven cell wheel has several cells distributed along the circumference and bounded by webs. The camshaft is rotatable by way of the webs or vanes between two end positions relative to the cell wheel, and the interior part is laterally bounded by two cover elements connected with the cell wheel. Recesses forming chambers are provided to reduce friction between the webs or vanes of the interior part and the cover elements in the side walls of the vanes directed to the cover elements. During operation of the internal-combustion engine, the recesses are at least partially acted upon by hydraulic oil.
