Abstract
A camshaft phaser includes an input member; an output member defining an advance chamber and a retard chamber with the input member; a valve spool coaxially disposed within the output member such that the valve spool is rotatable relative to the output member and the input member, the valve spool defining a supply chamber and a vent chamber with the output member; an actuator which rotates the valve spool in order to change the position of the output member relative to the input member by supplying pressurized oil from the supply chamber to one of the advance chamber and the retard chamber and venting oil to the vent chamber from the other of the supply chamber and the advance chamber; and a check valve which allows oil to flow from the vent chamber to the supply chamber and prevents oil from flowing from the supply chamber to the vent chamber.
