Abstract
In a valve timing controller, the guide-groove biases the moving element in a direction in which the moving element slides with respect to a radial line connecting a center of the guide-rotational element and the moving element, when the guide-rotational element relatively rotates with respect to the first rotational element. The direction in which the moving elements are pushed and the direction in which the moving elements moves are substantially identical to each other.
