摘要:A device and control method for actuating valves of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine including at least a controlled hydraulic actuator actuating the associated valve that is provided in the form of a cylinder. A mobile piston connected to the valve delimits two opposite hydraulic pressure chambers each supplied with an incompressible fluid and pressure regulated by a control unit such that the pressure prevailing in one of the chambers is alternately higher/lower than that which prevails in the other chamber to actuate the valve. Each pressure chamber of the cylinder is capable of communicating with a corresponding actuating hydraulic pressure source, which includes a pneumatic return mechanism for the fluid.
