Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A variable camshaft phaser is provided having a stator attached to a driving part, and a rotor located within the stator and attached to a driven part. First and second cover plates are located on respective first and second axial sides of the stator. Inwardly directed vanes of the stator, the rotor, and the first and second cover plates define at least one chamber. Radially outwardly directed vanes of the rotor divide the at least one chamber into an advance side working chamber and a retard side working chamber. A locking pin bore is located in the rotor, and a locking pin is located in the locking pin bore. One of the first and second cover plates includes a locking pin receiving opening. A magnetic part is located in the locking pin receiving opening to remove metallic particles and contaminants from the flow of pressurized hydraulic fluid.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A variable camshaft phaser, comprising: a stator attached to a driving part, the stator including a plurality of radially inwardly directed vanes; a rotor located within the stator and adapted to be attached to a driven part, the rotor including at least one radially outwardly directed vane; first and second cover plates located on respective first and second axial sides of the stator, the plurality of radially inwardly directed vanes of the stator, the rotor and the first and second cover plates defining at least one chamber, and the at least one radially outwardly directed vane of the rotor divides the at least one chamber into an advance side working chamber and a retard side working chamber; a locking pin bore located in the rotor; a locking pin located in the locking pin bore; one of the first and second cover plates including a locking pin receiving opening; a magnetic part located in the locking pin receiving opening, spaced apart from the locking pin in a fully extended position of the locking pin; and a locking bushing that forms the locking pin receiving opening, the locking bushing being located in a bushing opening in the one of the first and second cover plates including the locking pin receiving opening, wherein the magnetic part is located at a base of the locking bushing, and wherein the magnetic part is a magnetic ring, and the locking bushing includes a ring-shaped groove in the base in which the magnetic ring is located. 2. The variable camshaft phaser of claim 1 , wherein the locking bushing is a stamped part. 3. The variable camshaft phaser of claim 2 , wherein the ring-shaped groove is stamped into the base of the locking bushing during formation of the locking bushing. 4. The variable camshaft phaser of claim 3 , wherein the magnetic ring is press fit into the ring-shaped groove. 5. The variable camshaft phaser of claim 2 , wherein the ring-shaped groove is machined into the base of the locking bushing.
