VANOS Sectional Views
MMeecchhaanniiccaall LLaayyoouutt::
The figures above show a sectional view of one VANOS unit. The VANOS unit is secured
by a central bolt through the hub (7) to the camshaft. The timing chain connects the crank-
shaft with the housing of the unit.
There is a recess in the hub in which the locking pin (6) engages without oil pressure
(sprung). When the solenoid valve is activated to supply oil pressure to the VANOS unit,
the locking pin is compressed and releases the VANOS for adjustment.
The internal blades (9) are spring loaded (10) to provide a seal between the oil pressure
chambers (11 and 12). The torsion spring (3) acts against the camshaft torque.
