Abstract
A camshaft adjusting system of an internal combustion engine, which has a rotor, a stator, and first and second concentrically arranged camshafts one of which is driven by the stator and the other one of which is driven by the rotor. The camshafts can be rotated relative to one another to change phase angles of at least one cam on the first of the camshafts relative to at least one cam on the second of the camshafts. Hydraulic vane cells between the stator and the rotor control the rotation of the rotor relative to the stator. The total difference in the shapes and positions of the camshafts is smaller than bearing gaps of at least one bearing point between the rotor and the stator, and sealing elements which can be adjusted to the bearing gaps are provided in the bearing gaps between the rotor and the stator.
