camshaft and 22° with the outlet camshaft.

Valvetronic (BMW)
Instead of a throttle valve, the differing valve stroke is used
in the Valvetronic to control the fresh gas. An eccentric shaft
is operated by the engine management via an electric motor, a
worm and a work wheel.
|
The eccentric shaft controls an oscillating lever between the
cam shaft and the rocker arm, with the result that the cam of
the inlet camshaft opens the valve to differing extents (from
zero stroke up to maximum stroke).
|
The worm can be operated manually with the help of a small
wheel!
