Abstract:
A rotational phase adjusting apparatus for adjusting rotational phase between a driving shaft and a driven shaft, said apparatus comprising:a housing disposed in a driving force transmitting system which transmits a driving force from the driving shaft to the driven shaft and which is rotatable with one of the driving shaft and the driven shaft,said housing having a circumferential wall integrally formed with one of side walls and having therein an accommodating chamber formed by at least one partition;a vane rotatable with the other of the driving shaft and the driven shaft, said vane being accommodated in the accommodating chamber formed in the housing and rotatable relative to the housing in a predetermined angular range;a driving means which makes the housing rotate relative to the vane by fluid pressure; anda seat portion which is provided radially outside of and aligned with an outer circumferential surface of said at least one partition and radially inside of an outer circumferential surface of the circumferential wall, and which is made to contact a pressing member which axially presses the housing while the associated partition of the housing is being machined.
