| Phase Variator |
|
A system that allows the modification of the moment when the valves open changing the camshaft with respect to the position of the crankshaft. It consists of a mechanism placed between the operating shaft and the camshaft. The mechanism does not act at medium revs but at high revs. At that moment. it modifies by a few degrees the camshaft with respect to the drag sprocket and when the valves open. This system usually uses a mechanism that acts by controlling the oil pressure in the lubrication system.
