Abstract
A camshaft adjuster having a drive element, an output element and a spring, wherein the drive element and the output element can rotate relative to each other, wherein the spring is secured by a spring bearing of the drive element and a spring bearing of the output element, wherein the spring supports the relative rotation between the drive element and the output element, wherein the spring bearing has a radius that is larger than the radius of the spring and, as a result of this ratio of the radii, a two-line contact between the spring and the spring bearing is formed.
