ELECTRIC VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR [SKYACTIV-G 2.5T]

id0110q8002100

Purpose, Function

• The electric variable valve timing actuator operates by the electric variable valve timing motor rotation, and changes the phases of the intake camshaft and the valve timing.

Construction

• The electric variable valve timing actuator consists of the following parts:

― The sprocket gear rotates together with the intake camshaft sprocket.

― The camshaft gear rotates together with the intake camshaft.

― The eccentric shaft is an eccentric shape relative to the rotation axis of the intake camshaft.

― The planetary gear is engaged with the eccentric shaft. In addition, the planetary gear is engaged with the sprocket gear and the camshaft gear.

― The number of teeth for the planetary gear (large) is one tooth fewer than the number of teeth for the sprocket gear.

― The number of teeth for the planetary gear (small) is one tooth fewer than the number of teeth for the camshaft gear.

― The planetary gear rotates by receiving the rotation force from the eccentric shaft.

― The camshaft gear rotates by receiving the rotation force from the planetary gear.

Operation

Advance mode

• The electric variable valve timing motor rotation speed is faster than the intake camshaft sprocket rotation speed. As a result, the camshaft gear rotates in the advance direction relative to the intake camshaft sprocket, and the valve timing is advanced.

Retard mode

• The electric variable valve timing motor rotation speed is slower than the intake camshaft sprocket rotation speed. As a result, the camshaft gear rotates in the retard direction relative to the intake camshaft sprocket, and the valve timing is retarded. (If engine rotation speed is slow, the electric variable valve timing motor may be rotating in reverse and the camshaft gear may be rotating in the retard direction.)

Hold mode

• The electric variable valve timing motor rotation speed is the same as the intake camshaft sprocket rotation speed. As a result, the phase difference of the camshaft gear relative to the intake camshaft sprocket is maintained, the camshaft gear rotation speed is the same as the intake camshaft sprocket rotation speed, and the valve timing is maintained.
