Abstract
A valve timing controller includes a driving rotor, a driven rotor, a planetary rotor, a planetary carrier, and an elastic component to produce a restoring force biasing the planetary rotor to an eccentric side such that the driving rotor is inclined to the driven rotor. The driving rotor has an inclination angle θrelative to the driven rotor in a first inclination state where the driving rotor is in contact with the driven rotor on both sides in the axial direction. The inclination angle θis smaller than an inclination angle θin a second inclination state where the driving rotor is in contact with the driven rotor on both sides in the radial direction, and is smaller than an inclination angle θin a third inclination state where the driving rotor is in contact with the camshaft on both sides in the radial direction.
