Abstract
A device () which is used to modify the control times of an internal combustion engine () is provided. The device () includes a drive wheel (), a drive element () and a swashplate mechanism (). The torque of the crankshaft () is transferred via a primary drive to the drive wheel () and then, via the swashplate mechanism () to the drive element () which is secured to the camshaft () in a rotationally fixed manner. The configuration of the mounting of the drive wheel () on the tooth support () of the drive element () reduces the axial area of the device () due to the construction measures. The invention also relates to an embodiment, wherein the device () is fixed to the camshaft () by means of a securing screw () without the need for additional space.
