Success requires knowledge<br />

What began more than 30 years ago as a pioneering step with a small<br />

group of people has now developed into a separate, major product line.<br />

Accordingly, the number of employees has grown strongly.<br />

In the areas of development and design in particular, we use our<br />

best experts to develop ever more “intelligent” valvetrain <strong>systems</strong>.<br />

We will of course continue to do so, in order to meet the increasingly<br />

complex requirements of our customers and find solutions:<br />

■ INA engineering services – with expertise, local to the customer<br />

and always in the lead.<br />

Simulation model<br />

Formerly, all design and testing work on the supplier’s products was carried<br />

out at the premises of the automotive manufacturer. Nowadays, responsibility<br />

for the component through to the complete control system lies with the supplier.<br />

For this reason, the <strong>Schaeffler</strong> KG (developer of INA components) has a team<br />

of highly qualified employees in the fields of development and design.<br />

They ensure that products are designed to fulfill customer requirements –<br />

starting with analysis and simulation, through testing to the application itself.<br />

Demands on “intelligent” valve trains include:<br />

■ Reduced noise<br />

■ Reduced friction<br />

■ Reduced exhaust emissions<br />

■ Reduced fuel consumption.<br />

The overall objective is:<br />

■ Valve train <strong>systems</strong> with reduced mass but increased stiffness.<br />

Our approach:<br />

■ For optimum design of our engine <strong>systems</strong>, we use state of the art analysis<br />

and simulation methods, including kinematic and kinetic calculations,<br />

finite element analyses, topological optimization and dynamic simulations.<br />

Example:<br />

■ In order to verify the design of a rocker arm valve train, we analyse<br />

the dynamic behavior with the aid of an equivalent Multi-Body-System<br />

(see figure right).<br />

Test set up for dynamic measurement<br />

Our engine components must fulfill customer requirements in relation<br />

to function and reliability and must thus achieve the highest quality standard.<br />

We therefore subject our products to the most thorough testing regime.<br />

Here too, as in analysis and simulation we use the most advanced technology:<br />

■ <strong>Engine</strong> test rigs, subassembly test rigs, pulsers and special equipment.<br />

Example:<br />

■ For dynamic measurement of valve trains, we use the most advanced<br />

laser measuring technology (see figure right).<br />

Valve timing drives – the 1911 patent<br />

The father of the hydraulic valve lash adjustment element, Walter Speil 1) ,<br />

recalls aspects of the history of the internal combustion engine:<br />

It was shortly after the invention of the internal combustion engine itself that<br />

imaginative inventors focused their attention on gas exchange valve drives<br />

controlled by cams. The Frenchman Amédée Bollee applied in 1911<br />

for a patent for a valve timing drive that he had already designed as<br />

a low-friction, maintenance-free system:<br />

■ Cam tracking by roller bearing<br />

■ Automatic, hydraulic valve lash compensation<br />

■ Direct valve actuation<br />

■ Camshaft driven direct via gear ratio reduction or short chain.<br />

The grave disadvantage of this valve train arrangement was the so-called “L”<br />

head engine design. The combustion chamber could not be arranged directly over<br />

the piston but extended to the valve inlets located to the sides of the cylinders.<br />

It was quickly recognized that irregularly shaped compression and combustion<br />

chamber arrangements of this type allowed only moderate levels of combustion<br />

efficiency. The combustion chambers had to be made more compact and arranged<br />

so that they were only above the piston. This was how the “standing valves”<br />

previously guided in the cylinder block came to be located in a “suspended”<br />

arrangement in the cylinder head. The camshaft remained at its<br />

original position in the cylinder block.<br />

Next followed the OHV pushrod valve trains ... for the further development<br />

of valve timing drives, see page 16.<br />

<strong>Schaeffler</strong> KG<br />

The engineers at <strong>Schaeffler</strong> KG (developer of INA products) were pioneers in the<br />

market niche for low-maintenance valve trains in high-speed internal combustion<br />

engines – with direct valve actuation by means of hydraulic tappets.<br />

Our new concept passed its first test in 1974 when it was adopted by<br />

Mercedes Benz for volume usage in the 8 cylinder engines for its luxury class<br />

vehicles – principally because of the significantly lower exhaust emissions from<br />

the lash-free valve train. At the same time, Porsche proved in preproduction tests<br />

in a race car (917) that very high speeds could be achieved with our valve trains.<br />

Valve timing drives – development<br />

OHV pushrod drive<br />

The picture section shows this so-called OHV pushrod drive with the camshaft<br />

located underneath. Many linking parts were required in order to transmit the cam<br />

stroke to the valve – tappet, pushrod, rocker arm and rocker arm bearing support.<br />

Further development involved ever-increasing speeds, but the engines were also<br />

required to give higher performance within a lighter, more compact design.<br />

Due to its only moderate overall rigidity, the OHV pushrod drive soon reached<br />

the limits of its speed range. It was therefore necessary to reduce the number<br />

of moving parts in the valve train.<br />

Picture section :<br />

The camshaft was relocated to the cylinder head,<br />

thus eliminating the need for pushrods.<br />

OHC valve train<br />

Then came OHC (overhead camshaft) valve trains – these are valve trains<br />

in which the camshaft is located overhead in the cylinder head.<br />

Picture section :<br />

Picture section :<br />

Picture section :<br />

In this OHC valve train, there is no tappet, the camshaft is<br />

positioned higher up and the valve stroke can be transmitted<br />

direct via roller/rocker arms.<br />

This finger follower valve train is the most rigid design<br />

of lever-based valve train.<br />

OHC valve trains in which the valves are directly actuated<br />

by means of tappets are suitable for very high speeds.<br />

There is no need for rocker arms or finger followers<br />

in this design.<br />

All types of primary valve trains (picture sections to ) are widely used in<br />

engines manufactured in high volumes. The engineers must consider the main<br />

focus of the design – power, torque, displacement, packaging, manufacturing<br />

costs, etc. – and weigh the advantages and disadvantages before deciding on<br />

a design. All valve trains from the pushrod drive to the compact OHC valve train<br />

with directly actuated valves coexist for good reasons.<br />

Hydraulic valve lash adjustment<br />

Formerly, it was necessary to adjust the valve lash when the valve train was first<br />

installed and subsequently at defined maintenance intervals by mechanical<br />

means using adjustment screws or shims. Today, automatic hydraulic valve lash<br />

adjustment has become well established. This means little variation in overlap of<br />

valve lift curves over all operating cycles during the whole life of the engine,<br />

resulting in uniformly low exhaust emissions.<br />

It was not until the early 1930s that the idea of Frenchman Amédée Bollee<br />

(the 1911 patent, page 14) reached volume production – and interestingly<br />

this was not in the homeland of its inventor, but at Pierce Arrow in the USA.<br />

By the end of the 1950s, 80% of car engines there were already fitted<br />

with hydraulic valve lash adjustment. In Europe, economic reasons dictated<br />

that engine design at the time tended to smaller-displacement,<br />

high-speed engines. As a result, volume production of hydraulic valve lash<br />

adjusters in Europe began some 20 years later.<br />

138 156<br />

Function<br />

Leak down phase (cam lift)<br />

■ The tappet is loaded<br />

– by the engine valve spring force and inertia forces<br />

■ The distance between the piston and inner housing is<br />

reduced<br />

– a small quantity of oil is forced out of the high pressure<br />

chamber through the leakage gap a<br />

– it is then returned to the oil reservoir b<br />

■ At the end of the leak down phase, there is a small<br />

quantity of valve lash<br />

■ A small quantity of oil and air are forced out through the<br />

inlet hole and/or the guidance gap c .<br />

Function<br />

Adjustment phase (base circle)<br />

■ The return spring pushes the piston and the inner<br />

housing apart until the valve lash is eliminated<br />

■ The ball check valve opens due to the pressure<br />

differential between the high pressure chamber<br />

and the oil reservoir (piston)<br />

■ Oil flows from the oil reservoir through the oil transfer<br />

recess, the oil reservoir and the ball check valve into<br />

the high pressure chamber d<br />

■ The ball check valve closes and the force transmission in<br />

the valve train is restored.<br />

■ 80% reduction in oil consumption<br />

■ Low cam contact pressures<br />

■ More effective valve lift characteristics possible with<br />

identical tappet diameter<br />

Switchable<br />

valve lash adjustment<br />

elements<br />

Example: Switchable tappet<br />

138 158<br />

Features<br />

Switchable tappet, hydraulic<br />

■ Switching capability between two different valve lift<br />

curves:<br />

– valve or cylinder deactivation<br />

–valve lift switching<br />

■ In valve or cylinder deactivation<br />

– the valve remains closed or<br />

– is opened to its full valve lift<br />

■ In valve lift switching, there is<br />

– small to moderate valve lift or<br />

– high valve lift<br />

■ Advantages of valve or cylinder deactivation:<br />

– improved emission behavior<br />

– reduced fuel consumption<br />

■ Advantages of valve lift switching:<br />

– significantly improved torque curve<br />

– significantly increased engine power.<br />

Valve lash adjustment – two design variants:<br />

■ Hydraulic valve lash adjustment<br />

– The adjustment element is loaded during lift.<br />

A small quantity of oil is forced from the high<br />

pressure chamber through the leakage gap and<br />

drawn back at the start of the base circle phase.<br />

■ Mechanical valve lash adjustment<br />

– The valve lash is adjusted by the use of graded caps or<br />

shims in the inner housing.<br />

138 097<br />

Special designs<br />

■ Two different lift curves and zero lift are possible<br />

■ With a combination of two switchable tappets with<br />

different lift curves per cylinder actuated separately,<br />

the valve train can approach a high variability<br />

(with relatively low system costs).<br />

Switchable<br />

valve lash adjustment<br />

elements<br />

Function: Switchable tappet<br />

Function<br />

Switchable tappet, hydraulic<br />

A Base circle phase (switching process)<br />

■ The lost motion spring pushes the outer housing <br />

against the stop on the inner housing <br />

■ The inner housing is in contact with the inner cam ,<br />

there is a slight clearance between the outer cam <br />

and the outer housing <br />

■ With the engine oil under reduced oil pressure, the<br />

locking pin connects the outer housing to the inner<br />

housing <br />

–the locking pin is spring-loaded<br />

■ When the engine oil pressure exceeds the switching oil<br />

pressure, the inner pin presses the locking pin <br />

back into the outer housing <br />

– this disconnects the outer housing <br />

from the inner housing <br />

■ The hydraulic lash adjuster in the inner housing <br />

compensates the valve lash.<br />

Anti-rotation slot<br />

B Cam lift phase unlocked (zero or low lift) a<br />

■ The outer pair of cams moves the outer housing <br />

downwards against the lost motion spring <br />

■ The engine valve follows the profile of the inner cam <br />

– with a cylindrical inner cam, the valve remains closed<br />

■ If all engine valves of one cylinder are deactivated<br />

(outer housing unlocked), the cylinder is switched off<br />

– this significantly reduces the fuel consumption.<br />

Locked (high lift) b<br />

■ The outer pair of cams moves the outer housing <br />

and inner housing together downwards and opens<br />

the engine valve<br />

■ The hydraulic adjustment element is loaded<br />

– a small quantity of oil is forced out of the high pressure<br />

chamber through the leakage gap<br />

– when the base circle phase is reached, the valve lash<br />

is set to zero.<br />

Chain drive tensioners<br />

134 343<br />

Features<br />

Chain tensioners (crank-cam)<br />

■ One-way dampers with tensioning function<br />

■ Hydraulic damping, dependent on speed<br />

■ Function as follows when the piston is loaded<br />

– oil is pressed out through the leakage gap and causes<br />

movement, depending on the leakage gap size and<br />

the viscosity of the oil<br />

■ Function as follows when the load on the piston is<br />

relieved<br />

– the return spring presses the piston against the<br />

chain blade <br />

–the valve unit draws oil from the reservoir into<br />

the high pressure chamber <br />

■ The working position of the piston is determined by the<br />

length of the chain<br />

a Piston position with new chain<br />

b Piston position after extended operation<br />

■ Advantages<br />

– all changes in the length of the chain drive system<br />

during the operating life (wear, thermal expansion)<br />

are compensated<br />

– designed according to installation conditions<br />

– preload as small as possible<br />

(by means of return spring)<br />

– stroke up to 29 mm<br />

– wear resistant throughout the whole operating life<br />

(alloy steel components).<br />

Ratchet system (back-stop device)<br />

■ Mechanical anti-leak down feature<br />

– restricts the back stroke of the tensioning element<br />

while engine is shut down<br />

Features<br />

Cam-cam tensioners (secondary drive)<br />

■ One-way dampers with tensioning function<br />

■ Hydraulic damping, dependent on speed<br />

■ Function as follows when the piston is loaded<br />

– oil is pressed out through the leakage gap and causes<br />

■ Mechanically damped belt tensioning <strong>systems</strong><br />

■ Hydraulically damped belt tensioning <strong>systems</strong>, page 51<br />

Mechanically damped belt tensioners<br />

Function<br />

■ Belt preload force<br />

– the torque of the spiral spring generates the required<br />

belt preload force via the lever arm<br />

■ Damping<br />

–the damping assembly<br />

(spring and friction disc/friction cone)<br />

is preloaded by the axial force of the spring<br />

– movement of the lever arm causes a relative<br />

movement in the damping assembly and thereby<br />

generates friction and thus damping.<br />

The belt preload force and damping are matched<br />

independently of each other to the application.<br />

Advantages/benefits<br />

■ The belt tensioner compensates for:<br />

– tolerances of the drive components<br />

– thermal expansion of the drive components<br />

– belt stretch and belt wear<br />

■ The belt force is set automatically at mounting and service<br />

and remain almost constant<br />

– throughout the operating life<br />

– over the whole temperature range of the engine<br />

■ Load peaks in the belt dynamics are smoothed out<br />

■ Slippage, noise and belt wear are reduced.<br />

Function<br />

■ The hydraulic unit is pressed together so that oil is<br />

squeezed out of the high pressure chamber though<br />

the leakage gap – this gives damping<br />

■ The check valve separates the high pressure<br />

chamber and the reservoir , so that the direction of<br />

oil flow is clearly defined (directional damping)<br />

■ When the hydraulic unit is extended, oil is drawn out of<br />

the reservoir into the high pressure chamber <br />

■ The tensioning and damping force are transmitted via<br />

the lever and the tension pulley to the belt drive<br />

■ The tensioning force can be matched to the application<br />

by the selection of compression spring and the lever<br />

ratio<br />

■ The damping is adjusted by means of the leakage gap<br />

– the smaller the leakage gap, the higher the damping<br />

force.<br />

Variable camshaft timing<br />

<strong>systems</strong><br />

System description<br />

138 208<br />

Function<br />

Variable camshaft timing <strong>systems</strong><br />

■ Adjustment of inlet and exhaust characteristics possible<br />

– with typical ranges of 30° and 60° angle crankshaft<br />

■ Reduced exhaust emissions<br />

■ Reduced fuel consumption.<br />

■ Increased power and torque<br />

138 205a<br />

Components of a variable camshaft timing system:<br />

A Hydraulic adjustment unit<br />

B Solenoid valve<br />

C <strong>Engine</strong> management system<br />

Trigger wheel and camshaft sensor<br />

Trigger wheel and crankshaft sensor<br />

Variable camshaft timing system – control loop<br />

The camshaft is continuously adjusted by a closed loop<br />

control. The actuation is operated by engine oil pressure:<br />

■ In the engine management system, the nominal angle for<br />

the control phase is read off a map,<br />

– dependent on engine load (torque) and speed<br />

■ The actual angle is calculated from signals supplied by<br />

the sensors on the crankshaft and camshaft and is<br />

compared and evaluated in relation to the nominal angle<br />

– the current supplied to the solenoid is modified<br />

accordingly and thereby the oil flow controlled<br />

■ Oil flows in the required adjustment direction<br />

– into the appropriate oil chamber B and A of the<br />

adjustment unit, while at the same time<br />

– oil can flow out of the other oil chamber<br />

■ The angular position of the camshaft to the drive<br />

(crankshaft) is modified<br />

– depending on how the oil chambers of the adjustment<br />

unit are filled<br />

■ The actual angle is measured again<br />

– sensors and interrogate the trigger wheels on<br />

the camshaft and crankshaft <br />

■ This control process is performed regularly at high<br />

frequency<br />

■ Advantages<br />

– steps in nominal angle are compensated<br />

– the nominal angle is held to a high accuracy.<br />

Variable camshaft timing<br />

<strong>systems</strong><br />

Solenoid valve MAGV<br />

138 250<br />

Function<br />

Solenoid valve MAGV for variable camshaft timing<br />

Main functional parts:<br />

The solenoid valve is a proportional valve with 4 oil ports<br />

with one oil port each to:<br />

■ Oil pump “P”<br />

■ Return feed “T”<br />

■ Working chamber “A” of the variable camshaft timing<br />

system<br />

■ Working chamber “B” of the variable camshaft timing<br />

system.<br />

When current is applied to the electromagnet , this<br />

moves the internal control slider in the valve and thus<br />

switches the oil pressure between the working chambers.<br />

The working chamber not subjected to oil pressure at a<br />

particular time is connected to the return .<br />

In order to hold a timing position, the valve is held in the<br />

so-called centre position, in which case the lines are<br />

separated from all the connectors.<br />

The valve is compact but of a modular design and permits<br />

modification to match the particular application.<br />

The position and type of the tab as well as the type of oil<br />

feed (lateral or end feed) and the position of the seal<br />

between the “wet” hydraulic part and “dry” electric<br />

connector area are flexible.<br />

Variable camshaft timing<br />

<strong>systems</strong><br />

Variable camshaft timing system with helical splines<br />

for chain drive NWEK<br />

138 171d<br />

Features<br />

Variable camshaft timing system with helical splines for<br />

chain drive NWEK<br />

Main functional parts:<br />

Chain sprocket<br />

Adjusting piston<br />

Driven hub<br />

■ These are linked with each other in pairs –<br />

by means of helical splines, therefore<br />

– the driven hub rotates relative to the belt sprocket<br />

when the adjusting piston is axially displaced<br />

– the torque is transmitted very robustly<br />

■ The variable camshaft timing system does not need to be<br />

sealed completely against oil leakage<br />

■ The variable camshaft timing system is connected to the<br />

camshaft by means of a central bolt<br />

– when the engine is assembled, the base position of<br />

the camshaft timing can be easily set<br />

– the typical adjustment range is 20° to 30° of camshaft<br />

angle, corresponding to 40° to 60° of crankshaft angle<br />

■ In controlled operation, both chambers are filled with oil<br />

– these are well sealed in relation to each other, giving<br />

high load rigidity<br />

■ On the engine side, step responses are required that are<br />

achieved from engine oil pressures of approx. 1,5 bar<br />

onwards.<br />

138 191<br />

Design of variable camshaft timing system with helical<br />

splines for chain drive NWEK (figure right)<br />

■ The camshaft trigger wheel can be mounted directly<br />

on the cam phasing unit.<br />

Oil transmission to the camshaft<br />

Depending on the function, available space and costs, the<br />

oil ducts to the chambers in the phasing unit can be sealed<br />

by more or less demanding means:<br />

■ Sealing rings on the camshaft are often used<br />

■ Alternatively, the oil can be transferred to the camshaft<br />

by simple grooves in the plain bearing.<br />

Variable camshaft timing<br />

<strong>systems</strong><br />

Vane type variable camshaft timing system<br />

for chain drive NWFK<br />

138 210<br />

Features<br />

Vane type variable camshaft timing system<br />

for chain drive NWFK<br />

Main functional parts:<br />

Chain sprocket (stator)<br />

Driven hub (rotor)<br />

■ These are more compact and economical than variable<br />

camshaft timing <strong>systems</strong> with helical splines,<br />

since there is no adjusting piston<br />

■ The transverse load from the chain tension force is<br />

supported directly below the loading point<br />

■ The torque is transmitted during operation by the oil<br />

filling of the chambers<br />

■ “Vanes” – inserted and spring-loaded – separate the<br />

oil chambers<br />

– allowing 5 chambers for an adjustment angle of 30°<br />

camshaft (60° crankshaft)<br />

■ A locking element <br />

– connects the drive and driven parts mechanically with<br />

each other only during engine startup<br />

– is hydraulically unlocked when the adjustment unit is<br />

filled with oil.<br />

138 178<br />

Inlet phasing by vane type variable camshaft timing system<br />

for chain drive NWFK (figure right)<br />

■ In the base position<br />

– valve control phase shown is “retarded”<br />

– locking element is engaged<br />

– at the same time, oil pressure applies unilateral load<br />

to the “vanes” and holds these against the end stop<br />

– the solenoid is without current.<br />

■ In controlled operation<br />

– current is applied to the solenoid<br />

– oil is directed into the second chamber<br />

– the locking element is disengaged and the rotor turns<br />

– the camshaft is rotated towards an “advanced”<br />

position.<br />

In order to maintain an intermediate position, the solenoid<br />

is brought to the so-called controlled position, so that all oil<br />

ducts are closed.<br />

Variable camshaft timing<br />

<strong>systems</strong><br />

Vane type variable camshaft timing system<br />

for belt drive NWFR<br />

Features<br />

Vane type variable camshaft timing system<br />

for belt drive NWFR<br />

Main functional parts:<br />

Belt pulley (stator)<br />

Driven hub (rotor)<br />

■ It operates in principle in the same way as the vane type<br />

variable camshaft timing system for chain drive NWFK<br />

(page 68)<br />

■ It must, however, be sealed completely against oil<br />

leakage<br />

■ It can be sealed by means of<br />

– gaskets in the phasing unit <br />

–a cover on the rear side that is designed as a<br />

contact with the rotary shaft seal <br />

–a cap on the front side that seals the phasing unit<br />

once the cam bolt has been fitted.<br />

Exhaust phasing by vane type variable camshaft timing<br />

system for belt drive (figure right)<br />

■ In the base position<br />

– locking element is engaged<br />

– valve control phase is shown “advanced”<br />

– friction of the camshaft has a braking effect, however,<br />

towards a “retarded” position<br />

■ In all operating conditions of the engine, the “advanced”<br />

position is to be preferred and rapidly achieved;<br />

the variable camshaft timing system therefore has a<br />

spring on the drive side<br />

–suspended in a cover and connected at its center<br />

with the rotor by means of a support plate <br />

– and acting with a defined torque towards the<br />

“advanced” position.<br />
