Abstract
A camshaft adjusting means for an internal combustion engine includes an adjusting mechanism which is configured as a three-shaft gear mechanism having a drive side into which the drive moment for the camshaft is introduced, an output side which is connected fixedly to the camshaft so as to rotate with it, and an adjusting shaft which is coupled to a drive motor and via which a moment which brings about the relative rotation of the drive side with respect to the output side is introduced into the adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism having one bearing point on each of its drive side and its output side and being mounted via the bearing points with respect to the component which supports the camshaft, in particular the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. The adjusting shaft is guided into the adjusting mechanism through one of the bearing points.
