An electromotive camshaft adjuster for adjusting the angle of rotation of
the camshaft (14) of an internal combustion engine relative to the
crankshaft thereof is provided. The camshaft adjuster includes a
triple-shaft gear mechanism, which has a driving wheel (2, 2a') that is
fixed to the crankshaft and is embodied as a sprocket or a synchronous
belt wheel, an output part which is fixed to the camshaft, and an
adjustment shaft (18, 18') which is connected in a rotationally fixed
manner to a rotor of an electric adjustment motor, having a stator that
is fixed on the internal combustion engine. In order to keep the effort
for producing the adjusting gears relatively low, the triple-shaft gear
mechanism is preferably constructed as a swashplate or single eccentric
internal gear drive (1, 25), the effort for production thereof being
minimized by forming the same in a non-cutting manner, reducing the
number of components, and inexpensively adjusting or compensating the
backlash.
