ABSTRACT:
A valve timing control device for controlling the opening/closing timing of the intake valve or exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine comprises: a valve opening/closing rotary shaft rotatably assembled with the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine; a rotor integrally provided on the rotary shaft; a rotation transmitting member including a first mounting portion which is mounted around the peripheral surface of the rotor and a second mounting portion which is mounted around the peripheral surface of the rotary shaft, so as to rotate relative thereto within a predetermined range for transmitting a rotating power from a crank pulley; a plurality of vanes provided on the rotor or the rotation transmitting member; a fluid chamber formed between the rotor and the rotation transmitting member and separated into advancing chambers and delaying chambers by the vanes; first fluid passages for feeding and discharging a fluid to and from the advancing chambers; and second fluid passages for feeding and discharging the fluid to and from the delaying chambers; wherein the clearance between the first mounting portion of the rotation transmitting member and the peripheral surface of the rotor is smaller than the clearance between the second mounting portion of the rotation transmitting member and the peripheral surface of the rotary shaft.
