Abstract
A camshaft adjusting device having improved lubricant management including adjusting gearing for adjusting the angular position of a camshaft is proposed, the adjusting gearing having an input shaft, which can be coupled to a crankshaft, an output shaft, which can be coupled to the camshaft and an adjusting shaft, which can be coupled to an actuator. The adjusting gearing defines a rotational axis and the gearing forms a gearing interior, in which the input shaft, the output shaft and the adjusting shaft are operatively interconnected. The camshaft adjusting device has a lubricant supply for supplying the gearing interior with a lubricant and the lubricant supply is designed to form a lubricant sump in the gearing interior, the sump being radially outwards situated relative to the rotational axis.
