Abstract:
1. A camshaft adjuster comprising: a drive element and an output element, the drive element is rotatable in relation to the output element within an angular range about a rotational axis of the camshaft adjuster, a locking mechanism is placed in a locking bore of the drive or the output element, the locking mechanism can assume a locked or an unlocked state in order to block or allow a rotation between the drive and output elements, the locking mechanism has precisely two locking pistons, defined as a first locking piston and a second locking piston, and at least one locking spring applies force simultaneously to the first and second locking pistons, a first locking receiver is associated with the first locking piston and a second locking receiver is associated with the second locking piston in order to fix an angular position between the drive and the output elements, a third locking receiver is provided which is spaced from the first or the second locking receiver in a circumferential direction and in which the first locking piston or the second locking piston can engage, and the locking receivers are arranged within the angular range and are formed in the other of the drive or the output element respectively which does not comprise the locking bore.
