Abstract:
A valve timing control device associated with an internal combustion engine comprising:a rotational member which rotates together with a cam shaft of said internal combustion engine during running thereof;a rotation transmission member mounted on said rotational member so as to rotate relative thereto and rotating together with a crank shaft of said internal combustion engine;a phase adjusting mechanism which adjusts a rotational phase of said rotational member relative to a rotational phase of said rotation transmission member based on a magnitude of a fluid pressure;a regulating valve which controls the magnitude of the fluid pressure supplied to said phase adjusting mechanism;an electromagnetic mechanism mounted to said internal combustion engine and having a pushing member, said pushing member being moved in the axial direction of the cam shaft upon activation of said electromagnetic mechanism, said regulating valve being moved upon engagement with said pushing member; andan adjusting member interposed between said pushing member and said regulating valve for adjusting the amount of the axial movement of said regulating valve.
