A hydraulic type scissors gear removes factors that generate a backlash due to reduction of tension of existing springs by generating a relative motion between gears using oil pressure. The hydraulic type scissors gear includes: a first gear having an operation chamber and supplied with oil in the operation chamber; a second gear coaxially disposed on a side of the first gear to be rotate relative to the first gear; and a piston configured to rotate the second gear by applying force that pushes the second gear in a rotational direction opposite to a rotational direction of the first gear by being moved in the operation chamber by oil pressure supplied to the operation chamber.

An electromagnetic control device, in particular for adjusting camshafts or a camshaft section of an internal combustion engine, comprising an energisable coil unit, by means of which an armature mounted for movement along a longitudinal axis can be moved relative to a pole core between a retracted position and an extended position; a tappet, which is mounted for movement along the longitudinal axis with a free end portion with which, in the extended position, the tappet interacts with a camshaft in order to adjust the camshaft, and with an inner end portion (30), with which the tappet is attached to the armature, wherein the tappet is attached in a form-fitting manner to the armature by means of a deformable connection element and a method for the form-fitting attachment of a tappet to an armature of an electromagnetic control device of this kind.

An apparatus includes a valve and an actuator. The valve has a portion movably disposed within a valve pocket defined by a cylinder head of an engine. The valve is configured to move relative to the cylinder head a distance between a closed position and an opened position. The portion of the valve defines a flow opening that is in fluid communication with a cylinder of an engine when the valve is in the opened position. The actuator is configured to selectively vary the distance between the closed position and the opened position.

An engine with rotating assembly is disclosed. The engine includes a block defining a cylinder bore; a crankshaft mounted for rotation in the block; a piston disposed in the cylinder bore; a connecting rod interconnecting the piston to the crankshaft; and a cylinder head coupled to the block having a combustion chamber aligned with the cylinder bore and having an intake opening and an exhaust opening communicating therewith; an intake port; an exhaust port; a rotatable intake valve barrel disposed between the intake opening and the intake port; and a rotatable exhaust valve barrel disposed between the exhaust opening and the exhaust port. A first electric motor is connected to the intake valve barrel and a second electric motor is connected to the exhaust valve barrel, the first electric motor rotates the intake valve barrel and second electric motor rotates the exhaust valve barrel independently of the intake valve barrel.

A valve train lever for actuating a valve of a reciprocating piston engine, in particular an internal combustion engine. The valve train lever comprises a lever arm, which is pivotally movable about a pin; a tapping element, which lies against or can be made to lie against a cam of a camshaft of the reciprocating piston engine; a coupling mechanism, by way of which the tapping element is coupled to the lever arm spring-elastically in a first state and rigidly in a second state; and an actuating element, which is connected to the lever arm and lies against or can be made to lie against a valve tappet of the valve.

A valve timing adjustment device includes a drive-side rotating body that rotates in conjunction with a crankshaft, a driven-side rotating body that rotates integrally with a camshaft, a speed reduction mechanism that transmits rotation while allowing relative rotation between the drive-side rotating body and the driven-side rotating body. The driven-side rotating body includes a fastening portion fastened to the end portion of the camshaft by a center bolt, a bearing portion that is located radially outward of the fastening portion and that axially supports the drive-side rotating body, and a fitting outer surface that is fitted to a regulating member on a side where an outer diameter of an axial contact surface with the other member on one side and the other side in the axial direction of the driven-side rotating body is large.

A continuous variable valve duration apparatus may include a camshaft, a cam unit on which a cam is formed, wherein the camshaft is inserted into the cam unit, a guide bracket having an upper guide boss formed thereon, an internal wheel transmitting rotation of the camshaft to the cam unit, a wheel housing in which the internal wheel is rotatable inserted, wherein the wheel housing includes a guide shaft on which a guide screw thread is formed and the guide shaft is inserted into the upper guide boss to be movable, a worm wheel to which an internal screw thread engaging with the guide screw thread is formed therewithin, and to which an external screw thread is formed thereon, and a control shaft on which a control worm engaging with the external screw thread is formed.

A valve spring for an engine valve of an internal combustion engine includes a body having a first end and an opposite second end and defining a plurality of coils having an outer surface, and a flocking material applied to at least a portion of the outer surface, the flocking material including a plurality of fibers configured to provide a passive vibro-acoustic damping to facilitate dynamic damping of the valve spring and reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.

An engine system includes a first camshaft, a second camshaft, a first camshaft phaser, and a second camshaft phaser. The first camshaft phaser has a first camshaft sprocket, and the second camshaft phaser has a second camshaft sprocket. The engine system also includes a crankshaft spaced from the first and second camshafts, and a crankshaft sprocket coupled to the crankshaft. The engine system further includes a timing chain coupled to the first and second camshaft sprockets, and the crankshaft sprocket. The timing chain is configured to transmit torque from the crankshaft sprocket to the first and second camshaft sprockets upon rotation of the crankshaft. The engine system further includes a biasing member extending from a first end portion coupled to the first camshaft phaser to a second end portion coupled to the second camshaft phaser to maintain tension on the timing chain between the first and second camshaft phasers.

A metallic bushing that deforms under a force applied substantially parallel to its central longitudinal axis and then expands radially to take up the gap between a support bolt and a rocker arm shaft in an internal combustion engine in order to eliminate unwanted motion and subsequent excess engine noise.
